"The essential and practical guide for those who are considering pursuing graduate-level degrees in clinical or counseling psychology....It is objective, informative, and almost like having your own personal advisor to guide you along the way. *****" - Doody's Review Service
"[Helps] students prepare to gain entrance into the two specific subfields of psychology that are popular but extraordinarily competitive. The book is written in a pragmatic, conversational tone that is easy to understand. The advice is realistic, which is important when each year applicants in the triple-digits usually compete for slots in the single-digits. Highly recommended." - Choice
"The Insider's Guide focuses on the complete application process with sample documents, worksheets, and timelines. Advice, warnings, and an easy-to-read format give this book an edge over resources providing program descriptions only, such as the American Psychological Association's Graduate Study in Psychology and Peterson's Graduate Programs in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. The text is supplemented with helpful statistics and the worksheets assist readers in defining the most important criteria for choosing schools." - American Reference Books Annual
"I love your book! This book is excellent for focusing upon specific areas of interest as well as going about the process in a systematic, logical manner. Great job!" - Helen Rowan, clinician returning for her doctorate
"Your book is simply a godsend! I found it to be instructive, informative, and a great comfort." - Emily M. Douglas, psychology undergraduate
