One of the best textbooks I use May 20, 2004

I am a professor of Human Services. I have been using this book for the past 8 years, and wish all students could take the course as first semester freshman. Hanna has presented a very good overview of personal development. Students are introduced, often for the first time, to concepts such as self esteem, personal responsibility, interpersonal relations and conflict management. I have seen many students develop brand new understandings and skills which they apply to their own lives immediately. In the helping professions, this course is an essential basis for understanding the self, gaining an introduction to psychological approaches, and for learning to help others effectively. I recommend this book very highly. One measure of my regard for it is that in almost every other course, I select different texts frequently. This is either because I do not like the text I have used, or simply to keep myself interested. This is the only book I consistently use year after year. I have browsed for different books, thinking I might be stagnating. I have not yet found one I wish to use instead.

I was having difficulty establishing lasting relationships
until I read this book. I now feel better equipted
to handle my friends and acquaintences. I am now learning
to assert myself and become the person I know I can be.
I was once a doormat for those who knew me, but am
now more self assured and confident. Ms. Hanna has shown
me the way to self assurance and self worth. I am truly
grateful for the insight she has afforded me.
Thank you so much. I am really grateful. More books
like this would make living life much easier.
Being a vicitim of abuse, I can attest that learning
how to deal with myself and my abusers, have made a great
impact on my life. It is so important to realize your
potential that we all have waiting inside of us. Ms.
Hanna has allowed me to begin the process of realizing
my own potential. I am feeling truly liberated.
Everyone should read this and find a portion of it that
deals with their life. There is so much truth in
every part of the book, I recommend it to all who
are looking for a way to reach others.
It is a must read!!!
