National Massage Exam Study Guide.......2006-11-10
The material arrived in a timely manner.
It does seem to cover most if not all of the topics on the National Exam. It's a good way to practice answering questions to prepare for the actual exam.
Thank you.......2005-08-31
I recommend this review guide as helpful. I passed Nationals in the first try and feel this guide brought me up to speed.
If you want to pass, this is the best!.......2003-12-01
Awesome! I thought I knew a lot before I used these Study Guides,(Volumes 1, 2 & 3) but was I wrong. I'm convinced that I could not have passed the test without them. Together with "Massage National Exam, Questions & Answers" by Daphna R. Moore I passed the test with a "High" on each part. There were lots of questions on the test about professional standards, ethics and business practices. I'm glad I bought these books, since it is very expensive to take the test over again.
Overkill, but totally worth it.......2003-11-20
I just passed the NCBTMB exam with HIGH in all areas and these three volumes really nailed it for me. There are a few mistakes in the format of the books, but I didn't find any errors in the answers. Some of the information I would never have reviewed had I not used these books. It took me three weeks of cramming 6+ hours a day most days to pass. It's printed on RED paper, which is a little distracting at first, and there are 500 - 950 questions in each volume.
Great Study Guide for the NCETMB, Must Buy!.......2003-05-28
I found this book extremely helpful for the national certification test (NCETMB). The questions were of similiar type to the national test. This study guide gave me confidence and helped me get rid of some of my test anxiety. I also used Volume 2 (Clincal Pathology and Recognition of Various Conditions)ISBN: 0971999651 and Volume 1 (Human Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology)ISBN: 0971999643. I highly recommend these 3 study guides for the national test. I found them to be the best.
Book Description
From theory to practicea unique, well-rounded guide to ethics for todays architect
How does an architect assist a community in evaluating alternative designs? Resolve a dispute with a contractor? Take into account a projects impact on the natural environment?
When it comes to questions like these, making decisions about what ought to be doneor what is the "best" or "right" solutionrequires more than sound technical knowledge and strong design talent. It demands a solid understanding of the ethical issues that lie at the heart of architectural practice.
Ethics and the Practice of Architecture offers a complete, broad-based introduction to this crucial subject. First, it examines basic ethical theories and their application to architecture, and discusses different ways of identifying ethical content in architecture. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the second part of the book surveys different professional settings and building project processes that frequently hold ethical concerns, and charts the ethical mandates that arise from them.
In the final section of the book, thirty case studies explore a wide range of ethical dilemmas encountered in architectural practice, with useful guidance on how to work through them effectively. Arranged by topics that span the key phases of a project from pre-design through post-occupancy evaluation, these case studies allow a detailed look at ethical concerns in real-life situations where multiple issues are often at stake.
Providing a practical framework for the exploration of ethical issues in architecture today, Ethics and the Practice of Architecture is an excellent resource for present and future architects in all areas of the field.

Informative Literature in the Practice of Architecture.......2004-05-12
I am very pleased to find a book written with such an extreme knowledge of the true meaning and use of ethics in the architectural field. It is an excellent text book for students in this field. It will help to guide anyone on their path to what a real architect should know and practice. I recommend it highly and found that it is a slice of literature which is in a field all it's own.
Best textbook for the UNESCO-UIA Education for Architects.......2003-12-13
As stipulated in the UNECO-UIA Validation System for Architectural Education in 2002, Berlin Congress, Profession and Ethics in Architecture become requisite for university programs. With this background, I have examined that this book could be the best after reviewing several books for student to learn these field, although pages for profession seemed to be more expanded.

Excellent Presentation of an Array of Stinking Cases.......1999-10-23
I can't say anything more about this book. The author's presentation skills and overall arrangements are marvelous. It's not only informative to read it, but extremely fun! Though my firm specializes in securities, internal control, and compliance areas, I still regularly raise those issues highlighted in this book to my colleagues over email or during conference. We all benefit from it a lot.

Customer Reviews:
Practical and Enjoyable.......2005-06-26
This book was required reading for my Ethics class for my master's degree in social work. Of all the books, I enjoyed this one the best. It offers concise, easy-to-read chapters on a myriad of issues facing social workers in the field. These issues not only include ethical dilemmas in treating clients, but also issues involving personal ethics, agency bureaucracy, private practice, etc. Much of the information is thought-provoking and the excellent references provide further reading on those topics you are most interested in. This is one of those books you want to save after you graduate and include in your professional library.

A good text for allied health and nursing students........1998-02-27
This is an excellent introduction to health care ethics. Covers theory and principles and ethical decision-making in the first several chapters and the major issues in health care in the remaining chapters. The writers don't bog down in discussing these issues as do some current texts in bioethics. Very readable. Does not have cases so if one uses this for instruction a book with a collection of cases is needed (i.e. Cases Studies in Allied Health Ethics by Veatch and Flack).

Customer Reviews:
Excellent and Thought Provoking.......2007-09-21
This book is written with massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, etc., in mind, but as an Alexander Technique teacher I find it excellent, thorough and thought provoking. Well worth the price and time.
more of a college textbook .......2006-12-12
The Ethics of Touch is a good textbook to begin learning about professional boundaries and ethics which is a much needed topic for massage therapists who are faced with issues on a daily basis.
What other profession is there that has people come in and take their clothes off and let a strange person touch them. Such a dynamic is ripe for transferrence and counter-transference.
I can't quite put my finger on the reason why I only am giving this book a 3 star rating but it is because it seems like such a cold and impersonal account of ethics. I would recommend getting this book but get some others too - The Educated Heart by Nina McIntosh, Issues and Ethics of the Helping Professions by Corey, and The Ethics of Caring.
Book Description
Robert Jackall's Moral Mazes offers an eye-opening account of how corporate managers think the world works, and how big organizations shape moral consciousness. Based on extensive interviews with managers at every level of two industrial firms and of a large public relations agency, Moral Mazes takes the reader inside the intricate world of the corporation. Jackall reveals a world where hard work does not necessarily lead to success, but where sharp talk, self-promotion, powerful patrons, and sheer luck might. Cheerfully-bland public faces mask intense competition in this world where people hide their intentions, and accountability often depends on the ability to outrun mistakes. In this topsy-turvy world, managers must bring often unforgiving technology and always difficult people together to make money, an uncompromising task demanding continual compromises with conventional truths. Moral questions become merely practical concerns and issues of public relations. Sooner or later, managers find themselves wondering how to act in such a world and still maintain a sense of personal integrity. This brilliant, sometimes disturbing, often wildly funny study of corporate thinking, decision-making, and morality presents compelling real life stories of the men and women charged with running the businesses of America. It will interest anyone concerned with how big organizations actually function, or with the current moral malaise in our public life.

Objective, sad, but true.......2002-05-06
"Moral Mazes" is an extensive, award-winning and highly accurate sociological portrait of life in the modern corporation, an academic precursor, so to speak, of the "Dilbert" cartoon strip. Unlike many other writers on this topic, Jackall doesn't resort to Marxist rants, but rather, compares modern corporate culture to the "Protestant" work ethic most Americans are raised into.
Jackall's inquiry, based on in-depth interviews with managers themselves, is broad in scope, and it is hard to generalize. Within about 200 pages, he covers the social circles of the corporation, cronyism, bad decisionmaking and public relations, to name a few. He discovers that corporations, at the upper levels at least, resemble a king's court more than a meritocratic organization. The essential work of a manager is not "management" or "leadership," but constantly making the right friends and adopting the correct posture. Anyone who has worked in such a setting, or knows people in such a field, will be able to relate instantly, although it can be argued that Jackall did not need to spend years of ethnographic research to reach this conclusion.
This book is not for everyone, as Jackall must conclude that "ethics" as practiced by managers is nothing more than "survival" and ambition for one's own "advantage." While such a diagnosis may seem harsh, it is difficult to rationally explain recent events in the marketplace, such as the Enron scandal, without concluding that corporate executives have a moral compass that differs from that of the everyday person.
Contrary to what a layman may think, Jackall makes no moral judgments of his own, although readers most certainly will. The title itself can be misinterpreted by people not familiar with sociology. The "morals" Jackall discusses are not ethics (which he attacks in his intro), but Durkheim's "occupational morality." While he does study corporations, he calls the focus of this study the "bureaucratic ethos" (not "corporate ethos"). Anyone who's read history (or the local newspaper) already knows bureacracy can create its own rules, from governments (i.e., the Nazis and the Holocaust) to religions (i.e., Catholicism and child molesters).
Surprisingly, by portraying executives' lives as frought with anxiety, guilt, "senseless" work and no reliable means to measure their self worth, Jackall may cause an intelligent reader to actually feel sorry for them. Reading though his interviews with executives, there's little question that many executives began to regard him as a "Father Confessor" to admit their deeds.
At the same time, Jackall offers an alternative theory for why the American work ethic has all but vanished: if people are promoted based soley on their manipulative social skills, why would anyone want to subscribe to the old work ethic?
A Cynical Autopsy.......2001-02-23
Robert Jackall strings together a series of worse-case scenarios gleaned from a very limited control group of corporations. He skillfully manipulates language (e.g., calling loyalty to one's boss 'fealty') in order to deliver what he thinks is an indictment of bureaucracy. He does have some interesting things to say about the press, but this occurs near the end and comprises less than a page of material. Save your time. Read something worthwhile like Thomas Sowell's classic "A Conflict of Visions." Jackall's book is not worth the read.
Throughly depressing but an absolute must read.......1998-10-07
This book ought to be required reading for all MBA candidates and would be corporate middle managers as an intro into the sad and dysfunctional but real corporate world. In numerous scenes that will be instantly familiar to anyone who has worked at a Fortune 200 firm the book recounts numerous instances of failed and misdirected management. Depressing because it reveals the underbelly of corporate America and capitalism but readable in its accurate portrayal. Occasionally at times slow (particularly towards the end when he presumably is tired of writing) it does a clinical autopsy on management. Like watching a train wreck you are compelled to keep reading even as you realize the denouement. If you think that ignorance is bliss - give this a miss - on the other hand, if you are a frustrated idealist and need proof that in order for evil to overcome good, good only has to do nothing, it is worth the investment. An excellent primer on why we need ethics courses but more importantly ethical actions.
