Professional Development Resources has recently announced “Operation Goodbye Books,“ marking the end of 15 years of including print textbooks as part of its continuing education (CE) courses.

Gina holds countdown box - only 47 mail order courses left!
Just 9 days ago we announced our plan to discontinue the ‘mail order‘ courses from our course catalog. The books are disappearing so quickly that we decided to document the journey. (Back in August the bookshelf behind me was also full of books.)
We’ve also done some research on what this change will mean to you (our customer). The basic idea is that instead of buying the book and CE test from us, you’ll buy the book from Amazon (or another source) and order just the CE test (test only) from us. We’ve calculated Amazon’s prices with our Test Only prices and found that you will save 20% on average. We don’t know how Amazon does it, but we do know we can’t compete!
What are your thoughts? Please leave a comment; we’d love to hear from you!

We here at Professional Development Resources are in process of combining the convenience of our online CE tests with the power of Amazon’s exceptional inventory of book titles. We have found that you can get books from Amazon faster and for less than we can deliver, and you get CE tests instantly on our website.
We originally created ‘test only‘ courses so you could share course materials and earn CE credit. Up until now we have carried an inventory of our book-based home study courses to ship to you. With the recent rise in fuel costs, this is no longer an economical choice for us or for you.
An added benefit to Amazon’s services is the convenience of books being available for Kindle, or other e-book readers. This allows you instant access to your CE tests (from PDResources) and to your books (from Amazon). All for less money! (Average savings of 20%!)
This means that over the next few months we will be phasing out course books and offering only the CE tests that accompany the books. We will continue to create and offer CE tests based on published books, but you will have the freedom to choose from ordering the book online (from Amazon or another source), sharing with a colleague, or checking out from the library.
This is a great time to save on the remaining mail order courses in stock, now on closeout: http://www.pdresources.org/Courses/Other/Closeout/CourseName/1/
Our goal is to be book-free by the of 2011. What do you think?

Course Abstract:
This course is based on the book After the War Zone: A Practical Guide for Returning Troops and Their Families (2008, 304 pages) written by Laurie Slone, PhD and Matthew J. Friedman, MD, PhD, of the VA National Center for PTSD and Dartmouth Medical School. The book describes the experience of deployment and return from a war zone, typical experiences of military personnel, and issues relevant to special populations (women, ethnic minorities, peacekeepers, private contractors, and parents and extended family of affected individuals). It provides valuable insight into the military culture, as well as containing many useful military terms and definitions that would be essential for a lay clinician to know when working with military clients. As a psychoeducational tool for military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, this book may be used by clinicians as a recommendation for reading when conducting individual, family, or couples therapy with military patients or veterans.
