""Guidance for New Clinicians in a Chaotic World by Steven Melman is a non-fiction self-help book aimed at new healthcare, mental health, and psychology clinicians who hold Christian and conservative values. Melman offers practical advice and professional scenarios to help readers build confidence and competence as they start their careers. The book also critiques the perceived liberal direction of the healthcare profession, encouraging clinicians who hold traditional beliefs to stay true to these while navigating the modern landscape of American healthcare. Melman's ability to address the specific needs of Christian and conservative clinicians gives the work a clear goal at the outset and this is thoroughly and rigorously achieved in the text to guide fellow clinicians of his ilk. The author sets out with a perspective in mind, and for those on board with his viewpoint, his practical, real-world examples will give new clinicians valuable insights into the challenges they will face, helping to build an information base from the outset. Steven Melman has a nuanced understanding of the modern healthcare landscape and its complexities which he puts to good use in extensive case studies. The work is organized to take readers through every facet of practice, policy, and cultural shifts with ease and confidence. Melman's clear writing style creates a supportive and encouraging tone for newcomers wanting to follow this same perspective, but it also presents a challenging and engaging argument for those opposed to the perspective to consider. Overall, Guidance for New Clinicians in a Chaotic World is a well-organized and passionately written work that achieves everything it sets out to do and will suit its target audience very well."" -K.C. Finn ""Like many other medical fields, clinical psychology has evolved significantly over the past years. From the methods of practice to the demands of the patients and even the technology deployed in the field, there have been a lot of changes. All this may make it a daunting task for rookie clinicians to fit into or successfully pursue a career in the field. Steven Melman has had over forty years of experience as a clinician in the United States. In his book Guidance For New Clinicians in a Chaotic World: How to Practice Your Craft While Preserving Your Traditional Values, he offers insights into navigating and dealing with the current generation's demands while building and pursuing a successful career in Clinical Psychology. Rookie clinicians and fans of self-help books will find Steven Melman's Guidance For New Clinicians in a Chaotic World an enthralling read. Melman splits the discourse into ten chapters, open-mindedly addressing topics ranging from counseling and education of children and adolescents, violence in the US and sensible solutions, and cultural and gender diversity to counseling techniques. The anecdotes, research data, historical facts, and illustrations were enlightening and thought-provoking. I found Melman's counseling approaches and solutions to dealing with the emerging issues in the profession of clinical psychology practical. I especially found his take on gender diversity and economic ideologies interesting. Melman's personal story from junior school to graduate school is inspiring. It proves you can achieve anything with dedication, determination, discipline, resilience, and a positive outlook."" -Keith Mbuya
