Career Counseling: Contexts, Processes, and Techniques
This text is a fantastic addition to the career counseling literature. Written in an engaging style, it exposes the reader to a broad spectrum of career counseling theories while offering a practical and manageable framework for applying this content to practice. As an instructor, I am delighted to see a text that is adaptable to beginning and advanced career counseling contexts, that addresses contemporary work issues and challenges, and that attends to the concerns and strengths of diverse clients. This is a book to keep on the shelf in the career counseling office long after class is over for quick reference to concepts, options, and strategies. It is the text that we have been waiting for! --Ellen Hawley McWhirter, PhD, University of OregonThe authors offer an unequalled and comprehensive examination of how to effectively begin career counseling, carefully build a therapeutic relationship, creatively incorporate vocational assessments, and contemplatively terminate counseling with career clients. Career Counseling is exceptional and certain to be a much used resource for counselors-in-training. --Karen M. O'Brien, PhD, University of Maryland
