A largely undiscussed problem exists in the counseling community.
Each year many excellent professional counselors with little or no
administrative preparation or leadership experience are asked to
assume administrative roles in schools, colleges and universities,
state and federal government offices, community agencies, and
foundations. The purpose of this book is to lighten their challenge
by providing them with knowledge of the basic tasks and tools
needed by a professional administrator and, equally important, how
to adapt those tasks and tools to various professional settings.
Key features of this outstanding new book include the following:
*General Skills -- Chapters 1 and 2 address the meanings of the
terms leadership, management and administration, examine the tasks
associated with each term, and provide the concepts and skills
(e.g., strategic planning, budgeting, recruitment and development
of staff, use of technology, etc.) needed by any counseling
administrator in any setting.
*Applications -- Chapters 3-9 examine the similarities and
differences in counseling leadership and management in different
settings. The point is made that counseling services are rarely
stand-alone structures; typically they are part of larger
institutions to which they must demonstrate their contribution. No
other book examines how counseling services are adapted to
different settings.
*Expertise -- Written by three professional counselors who
collectively have more than 90 years of administrative experience,
this book supplements existing research and scholarship with a
wealth of personal experience -- especially on those topics where
the published literature is thin.
This book isappropriate for the following audiences: 1) graduate
students in counselor education or counseling psychology who aspire
to leadership positions; 2) practicing counselors entering (or
those new to) administrative positions; 3) practicing counselors
seeking to understand the institutional settings in which they
practice; and 4) counseling administrators seeking an easy-to-use
reference volume.
