Counseling Today: Foundations of Professional Identity

Meaningful learning aids and real-life scenarios help students learn to become reflective practitioners.
Counseling Today: Foundations of Professional Identity does more than overview professional practice competencies―it actively engages students using relatable, real-life scenarios and effective pedagogical aids designed for the way they learn best.
As students are introduced to current research, controversial topics, and authentic counseling stories, they are challenged to think critically and reflect on what they learn. This approach keeps them involved in their learning as they acquire the skills they need to develop their professional identities. Filled with more first-person accounts, new social justice themes, over 300 updated reference citations, and the latest CACREP standards, the 2nd Edition gives readers true insight into the way that counseling is practiced today.Also available with MyLab Counseling
