Summary

This text prepares students for career counseling in the global economy, and supports their learning and understanding, through a unique pedagogical model--the Career Diamond--which helps students synthesize and apply career counseling theories. Also, case studies demonstrate the use of techniques and the application of theory. Covered topics include special populations, such as clients in the welfare-to-work program, and the impact of the global economy. In addition, a unique spirituality chapter demonstrates how some adults bring deeper meaning to life changes, including career transitions. A thorough assessment chapter describes how to integrate test results into a client's exploratory process. Experiential exercises in every chapter allow students to apply concepts and practice counseling skills. Theories of developmental psychology support career education programs.
