Inhaltsangabe

This best-selling guide to the practicum and internship experience, written expressly for graduate counselling students by a seasoned counsellor/educator, is now substantially revised with updated and expanded content including DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. With a strong focus on counselling as a specific professional identity, the book includes new information on counsellor ethics, developing one's own approach to counselling and supervision, maintaining satisfactory working relationships with supervisors and colleagues, developing good writing skills and record keeping, and managing crisis and trauma. The second edition also reflects the 2014 ACA Standards of Ethics and changes in CORE/CACREP standards.

With a concise, accessible writing style, the book describes everything students need to know as they enter and progress through the practicum and internship process. Replete with plentiful case examples and downloadable sample forms and templates, this supportive manual encompasses information addressing practicum/internships in all settings, including mental health, rehabilitation, schools, addictions, and marriage and counselling.
