The Therapist's Starter Guide: Setting Up and Building Your Practice, Working with Clients, and Managing Professional Growth

"...is one of the most comprehensive books out there that I’ve seen on this subject. The guide offers a collection of tools and information for those new to private practice issues and is a valuable reference and reminder for veteran practitioners. I find it refreshing for a handbook to exist that combines coverage of professional growth, working with clients, and setting up a private practice in a single volume. All in all, this is a helpful resource for social workers in private practice, as well as educators and students interested in this area." (The New Social Worker, Winter 2009)

"The Therapist’s Starter Guide meets a professional need for the postgraduate student interested in private practice... instructive and informative... pragmatic and filled with welcomed "how tos"... provide(s) an excellent detailed discussion along with helpful exercises" and "emulates the mentoring style often imbedded in productive supervision." (Research on Social Work Practice, September 2009)

"The Therapist's Starter Guide is highly recommended for experienced clinicians who are ready to branch out and diversify their professional efforts. In addition, this book will prove useful to those who are thinking about a career in the helping professions and taking the long view of their own vocational trajectory." (Counseling Today, September 2009)
