Essential Elements of Career Practice: Processes and Techniques

By Norman Amundson and Spencer Niles

Essential Elements of Career Practice, now in its fourth edition, offers readers an accessible look at how to "do" career intervention, clearly defining the profession and the competencies career practitioners need to pursue as part of their training. Written by leading experts Spencer Niles and Norman Amundson, this text focuses on the practice of career intervention through the application of basic techniques and resources useful in supporting the theories of career choice and development.

Across the book's 12 chapters, the authors provide case examples of career practitioner-client dialogues to illustrate the application of career theories. They also integrate unique resources (assessments, websites, and informal interventions) to support the work of career practitioners.

Key Updates to This Edition:

- Contains the latest career theories in addition to the more "classic" ones.

- Presents a strengthened focus on the application of career interventions.

- Broadens the scope to address the work of career practitioners in a wide range of practice settings.

This text is ideal for any undergraduate or graduate-level course in career intervention and fits well with the work of counseling practitioners, career coaches, and career advisors.
