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, allowing the readership a much more comprehensive view than can be obtained by reliance on a single writer. With the aid of numerous case studies and examples throughout the text, Career Counseling provides up-to-date and state-of-the-art information to students. 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.
Suzanne Simon looks at the concept of viability and its role in the counselor’s life. They discuss issues today’s men and women encounter such as two career families, balancing work and family, child and elder care, and the stress and health concerns that sometimes result from the competitive workplace. It then examines different theoretical approaches including trait and factor theories, developmental theories, cognitive learning theories, psychodynamic approaches, and theories of embedded career.

"Great Book in Great Condition" according to C. Townsend. Obviously no one is going to pick this one up for summer reading. It was required for a Master's level class.The book came in great shape (have had some previous issues with Amazon shipping).The material is well presented and easy to reference.The Amazon price was significantly lower than the college bookstore and their online outlet.. Yazmin Rodriguez said Five Stars. Excellent!! Book was in great condition.. Adam J. Mcglaughlin said book. This book was bought for a class. the book served it purpose and I have no clue where it is today because I am writting this review too late.
