Title overview

For courses in Introduction to Counseling.

 

The most readable, practical, comprehensive overview of the roles and responsibilities of the professional counselor available–updated and improved to meet the needs of today’s counselors.


Long respected as the most comprehensive guide to the counseling profession available, Samuel Gladding’s text continues to emphasise counseling as a profession and counseling as an identity, while focusing on the roles and responsibilities of the professional counselor. Designed to ensure students get a head start in preparing for the professional challenges they will face in their futures as effective counselors, the book includes the latest research from counseling journals and other professional resources to show clearly the challenges of the profession that lie ahead.

 

The new edition of the text contains an even stronger emphasis on counseling as a profession and counseling as an identity, along with new or expanded sections on wellness, trauma, social justice, theories, process, multiculturalism, diversity, rehabilitation, motivational interviewing, bullying, microaggression, international counseling, addiction, abuse, and ethical and legal issues within the counseling profession. This text is even more equipped to help students prepare for professional challenges and a lifetime as an effective counselor than ever before.
