Reseña del editor

User-friendly and engaging, this text covers both traditional and newer theories of career counseling. The third edition uses the National Career Development Association’s Career Counseling Competencies, the National Career Development Guidelines for professional school counselors, and CACREP Standards as a framework for covering the crucial knowledge areas and skills required for effective career development interventions in a diverse society. Coverage focuses squarely on the application of interventions with real people, using straightforward presentations, student activities, and multicultural case studies to expose students to all of the essential competencies required for the professional practice of career counseling. The authors, both among the leading career development scholars nationally and internationally, share their in-depth knowledge and experience to help readers appreciate the importance of career development theory and practice. This practical text provides essential tips for translating theory into practice in ways that readers can readily apply to their prospective work settings.

Contraportada

Organized around the National Career Development Association’s competencies, this practical, engaging text examines the full spectrum of state-of-the-art career development topics. Coverage focuses squarely on the application of interventions with real people, using straightforward presentations and cases studies to expose students to all of the essential competencies required for the professional practice of career counseling. The authors’ respect for their field and their long-standing commitment to educating students about career development theory and practice creates a readable, useful, interesting text. It also addresses the wide diversity of career counseling clients and counselors in today’s society, while emphasizing that careers develop over time, rather than in a single “enlightened” moment.

With an increased emphasis on application and implications for practice, Career Development Interventions in the 21st Century now includes:

• Tips from the Field, which appear throughout the text and offer practical tips and guidelines.
• Diverse case studies, which show readers how the material can be applied in their work as professional counselors.
• Student Activities, which appear at the end of each chapter and give readers the opportunity to apply chapter content.
• The Career Counseling: Work in Progress DVD, which comes with each new copy of the book. This DVD allows students to see real clients going through the career counseling process, as well as career counseling techniques modeled by experts.
