"Thinking about applying to a doctoral program? Are you in a doctoral program but facing challenges? Stressed out as a doctoral student but do not know how to prevent stress, reduce it, or cope with it? In The Doctoral Student's Advisor and Mentor, 25 professors and dissertation advisors from prestigious universities mentor the reader through the doctoral degree process. This book is a treasure of sage advice that will assist students and mentors in successfully experiencing the exciting and challenging journey of doctoral study."---Ric A.

"The Doctoral Student's Advisor and Mentor provides two gloves: one for the mentor and one for the doctoral student, so both can work more warmly and more effectively together. It is the manual most first-generation graduate students have been desperate for forever, and it does what few others do---it speaks to developing the mentor as well. I wish my daughter had this book when she started her PhD program, and I'll make sure she has it when she starts her role as a faculty member and mentor!"---Cheryl Achterberg, dean, College of Education and Human Ecology, The Ohio State University

"In The Doctoral Student's Advisor and Mentor, an all-star team of faculty from across America's prominent doctoral universities share their insights and advice for those eager to maximize the effectiveness of their doctoral education."---Jon M. Engelhardt, dean, School of Education, Baylor University
