helpful book

One of the better books on career counseling. Theories are presented, and greatly enhanced by in-depth application of theory to case studies.

Systematic approach to career development theories.

This book makes an excellent supplement to any text in a career development course. Swanson and Fouad utilize 7 different theoretical approaches in order to integrate and apply career development theory. The case studies make excellent use of theory and actual practice.
