From the Author

I wrote this book to help graduate students and counselors review statistical concepts related to counseling research and practice. I have included a wide selection of statistical concepts common to courses on statistics and research methods. In this book, you will find an explanation of core statistical concepts with examples from counseling practice and research.

This book shouldbe helpful to the following people.

1. Graduate students inCounseling. If you are planning to attend a graduate Counselor Preparation program,this book can help you review the statistical concepts you learned as an undergraduate.

2. Students studying statistics. If you are taking, or about to take, a graduate course in testing, assessment, research methods, or statistics, this book provides an easy-to-read overview of the common statistical concepts covered in such courses

3. Counselors. If you are acounselor, you may wish to review statistical concepts to better understand test reports, conference presentations, or research articles.

4. Students taking an exam. If you need to review statistics related to a major test or exam, you might find this book helpful.

5. Researchers. If you would like to work with a researcher, this book can help you refresh your memory about statistical concepts before collaborating on a project.

6. Professors. If you are looking for a book to help students who struggle with statistics, this concise conceptual guide may help. You will see in the reviews that other professors think this book meets that need.

7. Others. Although my focus is on counseling, reviewers suggested this book would be useful for undergraduateand first year graduate students in psychology.
