Essentials of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Assessment
This is the only book available (other than the 1998 MBTI Manual) that focuses exclusively on Form M, the new standard form of the MBTI.  It is an excellent resource for people who want to increase their comfort and skill in using the MBTI with clients.  It has detailed guidelines for introducing and explaining each dichotomy, including questions to ask that will help people identify their preferences. What is most distinctive about the book, however, is that it provides comprehensive descriptions of clients and therapists of different types and how type influences the counseling process. Included are: what brings different types to counseling, what approaches they prefer, and what they expect to achieve from therapy.  Similar information is covered for counselors regarding their preferred therapy styles and the kinds of client with whom they most enjoy working.  The assets and pitfalls that are likely to occur for different client-therapist combinations are also described.--(Naomi L.
