Horton-Parker and Brown seek to prepare counselors-in-training
to better understand personal growth and self development. Their
approach is designed to guide readers to better self-understanding
through reviews of prevailing theory and through a series of
exercises. Each chapter presents one or more exercises designed to
allow the reader an opportunity to explore his/her personal
development and to become aware of any unfinished and/or unresolved
business that could emerge as countertransference with clients.
The basic theories of psychological growth and
development--moral, cognitive, and gender identity--are examined
under the stages of development throughout the life span. The
specialized theories for the different stages, such as childhood
and adolescence, are presented along with counseling applications
for that specific stage. Readers are provided with numerous
examples of how to use this information to better help clients.
Other unique features include material on becoming a culturally
sensitive counselor and an explanation of object-relations and
self-psychology theories. Of particular interest to researchers and
students involved with counseling issues.
