Reviews

The Best Resource for Psych Grad Schools This is truly a top notch resource for undergraduate students that are interested in graduate school for counseling or clinical psychology. Graduate school is immensely difficult to get into, but this book helps level the playing field. The Insider's Guide is THE resource for explaining the difficult process. The guide takes you through everything; from basic definitions of what counseling or clinical psychology are to American Psychological Association accredited programs across the country. Programs have rankings from 1 to 7, which are an incredible opportunity to see where each school stands from relative practice to research orientations. Psy.D. and Ph.D. programs are both shown. The relative interest areas of each school featured as well. Class sizes and average GPA/GRE schools are invaluable to the research and understanding of programs. As an applicant and future psychologist, this book is well worth the 25-something dollars that it costs you on Amazon.
Very helpful This is a very helpful book. If you're looking for a specific program or school this book probably has it. If you're just looking to see what schools are available with various counseling programs this is your book. The breakdown of what each school has to offer is incredible and it is organized in an easy to use way. Also, the first 1/4 or so of the book is a step by step guide for you to follow. From choosing a discipline to taking the GRE to choosing a school. It has contact numbers and web addresses for each school and statistics about each school. Very good book for the grad school shopper.
PhD and PsyD coverage ONLY This book is excellent if you're interested in PhD or PsyD programs in clinical and counseling psychology. However, be warned that it does not cover ANY information about masters programs. If you're looking for information on masters programs rather than PhD or PsyD, this book will not help you. I wish I could find a resource just like this but focused on masters programs!
insiders guide to graduate programs in clinical and counseling psych The book was in very good condition, looked brand new. Met all of my expectations.
Fantastic This book is really helpful, and I just love the point system that helps you calculate your likelihood of getting into a particular program. The only problem I have with the book is the APA accredited programs list--it's a little incomplete. It's better to go to the APA website for that. Overall, a good buy!
