Brief Description
In a manner that is both engaging and informative, this text provides the beginning counseling student with a comprehensive overview and discussion of the practical application of career counseling skills.
Addresses perspectives from experts who are nationally or internationally recognized for their expertise, research, and publications related to career and life style planning through a contributed author format. With the aid of numerous case studies and examples throughout the text, Career Counseling provides state-of-the-art information to students. The text reflects the view that career counselors must be prepared in a holisitic manner, as career and life style planning with clients is inherently related to their search for identity and meaning in their lives.
The content of this textbook is derived from the standards and competencies developed by professional associations and groups such as the National Career Development Association, the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision, the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee, and the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs.
Features
- Contains a section on career counseling with specific populations such as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clients, visibly recognizable racial and ethnic minority groups, men, and women, allowing students to learn about the unique career counseling needs of a diverse clientele (Section IV).
-
Contains chapter on counseling clients with addictive behaviors. Since substance disorders affect career counseling dramatically, this chapter helps students gain understanding about the nature of their impact and how to counsel clients with addictive behaviors (Ch. 17).
- Introduces the reader to contextual perspectives on career and lifestyle planning, stimulating them to think about the unique needs of clients in different settings (e.g., school, mental health and private practice, rehabilitation, and couples and family settings) (Chs. 10-13).
- Includes a chapter written to address the career and life style planning issues faced by counselors and other members of the helping professions as they strive to increase their personal and professional effectiveness.
