Choices has found a home in a wide variety of professional training programs in social work, criminology, nursing, child and youth care, addictions, and psychology as well as training for professionals and volunteers in other professions whose work involves interviewing and counselling.

A continuing best seller in Canada, Choices is designed as a textbook and practice reference guide for students and practitioners that combines theory, practice examples with sample interviews, and challenging self-awareness exercises in a comprehensive yet readable format. The book includes illustrative practice examples and challenging exercises that promote skill development, conceptual understanding, and self-awareness. Throughout the book, I have included neuroscience concepts that have particular relevance for counsellors. Although framed in the Canadian ethical and cultural context, the content of the book is designed to appeal to a broad international audience of professionals.
