TEXT, REFERENCES, LEARNING MATERIALS (Text is required)

• Theory and Treatment Planning in Counseling and Psychotherapy, 2nd Edition- Diane Gehart ISBN: 978-1-305-08961-7
• The text is required. Although the course requires a textbook, CPTC recognizes and acknowledges the challenges of textbooks' prices. To assist adult learners with these challenges, CPTC promotes using "Open Education Resources (OERs)." Open Education resources are learning materials other than the assigned course textbooks. (See Class Sessions: Below)
• OERs are not only professional; OERs are the industry standard.
