The sixth edition of The World of the Counselor: An Introduction to
the Counseling Profession provides readers with an illuminating
window into the day-to-day realities of a practicing counselor.
Comprehensive and highly practical in nature, the text presents
readers with critical skills and concepts, helps them develop their
professional identity, and features illustrative case examples and
personal narratives to bridge theory and practice. This new edition
includes updated information within every chapter to reflect the
latest ethical codes and standards, updated content on cutting-edge
issues, and alignment with 2016 CACREP standards. In keeping with
current trends, cultural competence, social justice concerns,
technological issues such as tele-mental health counseling, some of
the newest theories in counseling, and crisis, disaster, and trauma
counseling are highlighted. Throughout the text, students are
provided with meaningful self-reflection opportunities, hands-on
experiential activities, and enlightening case studies to enrich
their learning experience. A full set of ancillaries to assist in
teaching is available and includes a sample syllabus, exam
questions, vignettes, ethical dilemmas, videos, and much more. Each
of the eight common-core content areas of CACREP are covered
through chapters on professional issues (e.g., history,
professional organizations, characteristics of the professional
counselor), standards in the professional (e.g., CACREP,
credentialing, ethics, cross-cultural and social justice
competence), counseling skills, counseling theories, normal and
atypical human development, group counseling, couples and family
counseling, testing and assessment, research, and consultation and
supervision. Two dedicated chapters cover cultural competence and
social justice issues. The last three chapters highlight school
counseling; mental health, rehabilitation, and addiction
counseling; and college counseling. New vignettes from counselors
in the field are peppered throughout these chapters. An afterword
offers sage advice for applying to graduate school and finding a
job. The World of the Counselor is a thoroughly research- and
practice-based text that is ideal for counselors-in-training. It is
an exceptional introduction to the field and an especially useful
book for those who are preparing to take their licensing exams or
enter the field.
