Foundations of Career Counseling: A Case-Based Approach with Mylab Counseling with Pearson Etext -- Access Card Package [With Access Code]

By Suzanne M. Dugger

Rather than simply describing career development theories, Foundations of Career Counseling: A Case-Based Approach uses seven realistic, diverse client scenarios to help students connect with the material and master career counseling content and skills. Balancing both theory and application, chapters about the career counseling process, intake interviews, and the use of tests, card sorts, and resources contain transcripts, examples, and sample assessment results from simulated sessions with these fictional clients. Suzanne Dugger's down-to-earth writing style clearly explains complex concepts in everyday language. Future counselors will develop a thorough understanding of both theory and technique pertaining to career development interventions with children and young adults as well as with adults-including specific populations such as persons with disabilities, military veterans, ex-offenders, homemakers and caretakers transitioning back into the world of work-and even themselves KEY TOPICS: Career counseling; Career development; Counseling; School counseling; College counseling; Comprehensive guidance and counseling; employment law; card sorts; job loss; unemployment; job search; adult career transitions; job search for ex-offenders; military to civilian career transition; displaced homemakers; vocational rehabilitation; transition plans for persons with disabilities; globalization; culture; diversity; intake assessments; CTE; career and technical education; postsecondary planning; career genogram.
