Book Description
Why do we cheat ourselves out of obtaining what we really want or need to feel satisfied? The answer lies in our lack of knowledge about negotiation. What does negotiation have to do with it? Everything!
We all negotiate more than we realize. Negotiations permeate our everyday lives. Much of our daily communication with other people falls into the category of negotiation. It's therefore crucial that we learn negotiation skills, not only for business but for our personal lives as well.
INSTANT NEGOTIATOR unlocks the secrets to building a more fulfilling life through the power of skillful negotiating. The INSTANT NEGOTIATOR system is a negotiating strategy based on empathy, skillful communication, imaginative thinking, strong ethics and morals, and a sincere desire to satisfy all people involved in the negotiation. Most importantly, the system helps you recognize and enhance the talents you already possess, and leverage them to create wealth and personal fulfillment. And it offers you a road map that directs you away from common negotiation mistakes that make life a difficult journey.
The INSTANT NEGOTIATOR system is an easy-to-learn, principle-based, five-step system for negotiating all types of deals. It's a unique approach that takes into consideration the typical behaviors of people. The skills you learn from this book will give you the confidence and power to negotiate like a professional.
A successful negotiator can cultivate stronger relationships and build great wealth. Whether you're a corporate executive, small-business owner, middle manager, salesperson, homemaker, hourly employee, or student, the INSTANT NEGOTIATOR five steps guide you toward negotiating the best deal possible for yourself or anyone else on whose behalf you are negotiating.
INSTANT NEGOTIATOR is not a scheme of tricks or word games. It's an honest, heart-felt, principle-based system of negotiating agreements and solutions to problems. INSTANT NEGOTIATOR furnishes you with a life strategy that changes the way you see your business and personal life. It helps you recognize the power you have to get what you want and need.

Read Before Your Next Negotiation.......2000-06-14
Instant Negotiator is an excellent book for anyone who is going to be involved in the negotiation process and that includes just about everybody. Frank D'Alessandro offers many negotiation techniques and strategies that lead towards a successful outcome. He believes a successful negotiation should result in a win/win in which both sides feel good about the outcome. The use of charts, symbols and stories make his five-step process easy to understand. There is an excellent chapter on negotiating strategies used to pressure you into making a deal and how to defend against them. I'm a reader who finishes less than half of the books I start. This little book held my interest from the first page to the last. There is one weakness in the book. The cover states it is "The Complete Guide to Building Wealth and Creating Happiness". It is a good book on negotiation techniques but lacks specific details on wealth building and the creation of happiness. You will feel more comfortable and confident in your next negotiation after reading this book.

Great for new students.......2007-10-18
I enjoy reading this book for my masters class. It is written for easy reading but is not dumbed down. Very thought provoking.
Good but wordy & ultimately unsatisfying.......2007-10-13
I had to purchase a copy of this book for an introductory masters course in ethics for counselors. I really like the book a lot, except that the chapters are incredibly long (often running 50+ pages apiece) for topics that do not require more than 20. What the author has done is ask contributing writers to add text and case studies that are often repetitive and unnecessary to the discussion. That strikes one star from a possible five.
The second strike is the ambiguity of the subject itself, which provides no concrete answers. This is inherit in ethics itself, but there needs to be solid answers for masters students who must, ultimately, take the licensure test to practice in their respective state. Without solid answers, I have no idea how to face the multiple choice final quiz (worth 50% of my grade) in my class. I am worried that this book is too queasy and uncommitted to my success to provide real-world answers to questions on these licensure tests that I HAVE to know! If I flunk this class (and anything below 80% is flunking at the masters level) it will be this book's fault. I am actually doing everything I possibly can to supplement my reading outside of this book to ensure I know enough practical, real-world answers to ethical questions so that I will get thru this weed out course in counseling. Ugh. Thanks for nothing, Corey & Corey. If I pass the course, I will come back and upgrade this review to three stars instead of two. Right now, I am too upset with your equivocations and ultimately unsatisfying answers to give you credit for something that I think you, ultimately, failed to do. That is: help a poor student pass the course.
Great resource!.......2007-09-20
This text is written in a way that helps the reader get a better understanding of the responsibilities we have when working in the helping field.

Ethics in Counseling.......2006-01-31
Book arrived in reported condition and in a timely manner. All info listed was accurate.
Great text..........2005-07-30
This was an excellent text book for our Legal and Ethical Issues class. The writing was clear, concise and enjoyable. I recommend it for anyone needing a resource on this subject.
Issues and Ethics: In helping professions.......2002-01-27
My order never was received, and I got a refund
The Best Ethics Text on the Market to Date.......2000-06-12
As a Counselor Educator and Counseling Psychologist, I feel that "Issues and Ethics In the Helping Professions" is one of the most nicely organized and well-written texts on counseling ethics ever written. I cannot think of another text I would choose over it to teach ethics to developing counselors. This text serves as an excellent source for the overview of ethical issues in counseling and related fields, as well as a guide to further reading. Corey, Corey, and Callanan expect readers to become involved in learning to deal with ethical and professional issues most directly influenced by the actual practice of counseling. The authors produce numerous useful examples for thought and discussion as well as well designed activities for the classroom setting. Even an instructor selects another text for her or his ethics course, the student should definitely consider purchasing this text as an ethics resource. This edition has also put more emphasis on the learning needs of School Counselors than past editions, although I hope to see it develop in this arena in the 6th edition.
Required or not, read this book!.......1998-08-24
This book was required in my graduate psychology ethics course, and I found it to be extremely helpful. Covers such topics as confidentiality, multiple relationships, diversity issues, and personal values as they relate to the counseling profession. Extremely helpful were the pre-chapter self-inventories for each topic, which give you a chance to think about what is written after them from your own frame of reference. This book dealt with issues that I had never even considered before, and I consider myself to be fairly well-educated in the subject of counseling psychology. I recommend it to anyone who is in a graduate program, to undergraduates who plan to enter the field, and to anyone currently practicing who was sent out to work with little or no formal ethics training.

This is not an Outline.......2006-10-22
The reason I ordered this item was as a study help. I expected to receive a book outline, but instead received a vocabulary/definitions book. I could go through the book and read the bold words perfectly fine myself.
The worst part of it is that the book I received had the right cover on it, but the contents was for another CRAM 101 textbook outline. I had it replaced once with the same problem, so I had to send both of them back.
I would hope that by now, this problem with the stock has been fixed. This particular problem happened back around May 2006.

To Care or Not to Care.......2002-04-15
A review by Eric Newell
April 10, 2002
The Crisis of Care is moving away from the technological, managerial aspect of caring. The need is to restore the concern and compassion for the need of the care receiver. Persons care for the wrong reasons. If it is not the aspect of filling the prescribed attention to a patient, very often there is the one who is interested to help or assist because they feel a sense of moral commitment or the sense that it will make them feel good. The editors quote Wuthnow's survey report that 42% of Americans were interested giving themselves for the benefit of others. The percentage dropped to 15% when asked if they were willing to sacrifice to help another person." (1994, p.23)
"From the time we were children, we were told by our parents and our grammar school teachers to "Pay Attention!" Even though we have grown inured to this injunction and shrug it off, there are few things in life more important." (1994, p. 28) Restoring those concerns for the individual, the context of their situation and what it is that needs to be protected for the care receiver is important.
Steven Covey in his writing cautioned against responding to the "Tyranny of the Urgent". In "The Crisis of Care," the chapter, "Teach Us to Care and Not to Care," says the caregiver who offers standardized responses to the needs or responds to that which gives only immediate relief, is not giving the full extent of care. There needs to be the caregiver who is will not only to pray for the receiver only, as an immediate answer to the problem, but who is willing to take the time to teach the receiver how to pray. This awareness of how to pray helps the person begin to understand that value can be found even in the experience of their suffering.
Creating a context of care, listening and reducing isolation are all important in care giving. It is not enough to know the facts about a person or even the facts about their situation. The concern is that one knows the issues and reasons, which surround those facts. This is important whether it involves the student in the school or the patient wrestling with the quality of life. "From a theological standpoint, any notions of caring we might have grow out of our divine vocation, to reflect in our lives together in the world the character of God, manifest in his covenant love, (the compassionate behavior of God)."
Phillips and Benner blend the use of narrative, dialogue and instruction to emphasize the strengths and weaknesses in present day care giving. The reoccurring issues of finding the context, the willingness to listen and the autonomy of the care receiver emphasize the point of the writing that care giving needs to move beyond the mechanical and technological response.
Insightful, informative, and challenging. . ........2002-04-11
Phillips and Benner have edited nine narratives written on "redesigning the structures and processes of our public caregiving institutions in order to better facilitate practices of caring," (vii) an excellent resource for those in the helping professions and for those who care. The narratives are actual circumstances with real people who practice within the caring professions. The authors invite the reader to examine the narratives in terms of the practices of care illustrated by them (vii). Because the narratives are written by practitioners and theorists who are experts in their field (10), each has spoken out against the objectification and commodification of persons and practices that mask contemporary helping professions (11).
These are examples of the experts. Robert Bellah, a sociologist, argues for a rich, interpersonal world as he pleads for Americans to listen and see, by adopting an ethic of responsibility, of moral discourse, instead of control and commodification (13).
Patricia Benner, a professor of physiological nursing, advocates that, "effective caregiving requires more than intent or sentiment. It requires skill and knowledge and being in relation with others in ways that foster mutuality, empowerment, and growth" (45).
As a pastor and theology professor, Eugene H. Peterson describes the difference between genuine caring and control veiled as caring. Dr. Peterson believes that we are meant to open out toward our neighbors and open upward towards God, and that we can be whole and healthy humans only to the degree that we do this (69).
Pediatrician E. Dawn Swaby-Ellis states that "whatever the competing factions my challenge is the same: to be effective, efficient, and empathic" (84). Furthermore, she believes that caring for patients must come out of true concern and love for them (90). Her personal caring relationship with her patients was deeply validated by her exposure to the biopsychosocial model proposes by George Engel and expanded by Paul Tournie to include the spiritual dimension. Although, Dr. Swaby-Ellis praises many of her teachers, she declares the Holy Spirit to be her greatest teacher. "It is one thing to be a Christian who wishes to live a life of obedience to God by showing love to mankind. It is another thing to integrate our faith into the fabric of our being so that our actions mirror our spiritual belief" (93).
To Anna Richert, an educator, all teaching practice must help kids to grow through caring. Although there are increasing challenges and dangers educators deal with daily as they attempt to care by teaching in urban chaos, still "children need care and they also need to learn to care for one another. Ultimately they need to learn to care for themselves" (109). I agree with Richert that fundamental to teaching children to care is the fact that children "need to feel and be safe" which includes "needing to trust others, and having a sense that others believe in them" (109).
To Care is to Listen.......2002-03-29
Insightful, humane, challenging, reflective, and practical are words that describe, The Crisis of Care: Affirming and Restoring Caring Practices in the Helping Professions, edited by Susan Phillips and Patricia Benner. The nine chapters followed the format of a story narrative followed by a pertinent and complimentary discourse. Phillips wrote: "Teaching, nursing, medicine, psychotherapy, and pastoral ministry are written of from the inside in terms of excellent practice" (vii). Inevitably, "care is relational, creating more than we expect and at other times showing us the limits of `helping'" (10).
Phillips' book is a positive example of how ritual and relationship can fuse to embrace the unique personhood of students, patients, clients, and parishioners; thereby, humanizing what has been viewed as merely objective clinical processes and procedures. The distinguished practitioners and scholars who contributed stories and essays are to be commended for their efforts in providing authentic care themselves and in sharing their insights.
The stories are powerful. A Holocaust descendant's anxiety is relieved because the psychotherapist heard with an inner ear, the patient's real and heretofore unexpressed need. Attention to the not said and the unseen on the part of the caregiver is of terrific value when providing care. An abortion case is reviewed with some of the multiplicity of implications that are involved. "Sammy," a six years old Amish boy, kicked by a mule, is restored to health. The preparation of a simple meal and the opportunity to learn the history of an African-American woman's family (Ambrosia Jones) helped pave a road to recovery. Death by choice in a chapter of the same name is provocative. Blake's story is about the unattractive child. It presents the compassionate value of a mother's love, and reveals a doctor's openness to in-seeing and in-hearing, and thereby some profound learning occurs. Mrs. Clark's paralysis and the visiting male nurse's ritual and relationship pastoral care story are inspiring.
The insights are powerful. Benner wrote: "If we were able to replace our disease care system with caring practices that foster illness prevention and health promotion so that clinical wisdom could be fostered from caregivers and receivers alike, we would alter dramatically how we are spending our health care dollar" (59). Eugene Peterson described the pastor's task: "Pastors identify God in the action, God in the language" (74). Peterson's challenge was to learn when to care, and not to care. The Atlanta, Georgia pediatrician, Dr. E. Dawn Swaby-Ellis learned: "My greatest teacher in learning how to care has been the Holy Spirit" (93). Clinical Psychologist Mima Baird echoed the sentiment by contributing: "To care is to listen; to hear is to care" (96). Teacher Anna Richert noted that it lies within the ability to make authentic connections that the capacity for care is enhanced, and by implication, the significant educable moment can be realized. Professor Joel Green draws attention in his summary statement: "Just as we know the character of God only in the concreteness of our lives, especially within the community of God's people, so we recognize the threads and hues of human reflection of God's character only in the fabric of social life in the everyday world" (165).
Quickly paced, tightly written, and imaginative stories, and longer, but nevertheless interesting reflections and observations, make The Crisis of Care an excellent addition to every caregivers memory storehouse and personal library.
An insightful examination of the state of care in America.......2002-02-15
The Crisis of Care is an insightful examination of the state of care in the helping professions. The editors argue: "... that examining our exemplary caring relationships can prompt us to redesign the structures and processes of our public caregiving institutions in order to better facilitate practices of caring" (1994:vii). Utilizing essays from practioners and scholars, the editors have collected narratives and scholarly discourses that address the practice of care in various helping fields and from the perspective of various academic disciplines. While the reader may not fully agree with positions taken by various writers concerning such issues as euthanasia, abortion, and the philosophic basis of ethics, the writing on the whole is good. The narratives frequently touch a sentimental chord. One good example is W. Thomas Boyce's "Beyond the Clinical Gaze" (1994:144-148). Eugene H. Peterson's essay "Teach us to Care and not to Care" is brilliant (1994:66-79). Peterson challenges the reader to not defile the holy. Joel B. Green's essay "Caring as Gift and Goal: Biblical and Theological Reflections" was also outstanding (1994:149-167). Green covered much biblical and theological ground clearly and with keen insight. Robert N. Bellah's "Understanding Caring in Contemporary America" was awesomely insightful (1994:21-35). He explores the themes of placing caring over exploitation and placing attention over distraction.
While, to me, some of the narratives and essays were not as excellent as those I mentioned, on the whole the book is worth reading. I recommend it.
