Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, and Washington DC (August 5, 2009)— SAGE and Alexander Street Press are pleased to announce that Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts, Client Narratives and Reference Works has won a 2009 APEX Award of Excellence in the One-of-a-Kind Web & Electronic Publications category.

Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts, Client Narratives, and Reference Works, a unique research and training resource for psychologists and other mental health professionals, contains over 2,000 transcripts of actual therapy sessions and major reference works. The entries include non-fiction, first-person diaries, letters, autobiographies, oral histories, and personal memoirs, which have been made anonymous to protect patient privacy. The content has been thoroughly indexed, enabling researchers to find materials by diagnosis, symptoms, or patient demographics.

The APEX awards are sponsored by the editors of Writing That Works, a bimonthly newsletter for communicators who write, edit, and manage business publications. The newsletter is published by Communications Concepts, Inc., a company that provides publishing direction to marketing professionals.

“We’re pleased that Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts, Client Narratives, and Reference Works has been recognized by APEX as a one-of-a-kind, practical research and learning tool for practitioners, researchers, and students in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, counseling, therapy, and social work,” said Stephen Rhind-Tutt, Alexander Street Press President. “Awards like this attest to the quality content and delivery that SAGE and Alexander Street Press provide.”
