This collection of brief essays by thought-leaders, scholars,
activists, psychologists, and social scientists imagines new
workplace structures and policies that promote decent and fair work

thoughtful suggestions for new work arrangements, individual
strategies for enhancing one's work life, and recommendations for
innovative systemic and institutional reforms. The collection
offers critical analyses in conjunction with constructive solutions
on rebuilding work, providing direction and context for ongoing
debates and policy discussions about work. The book will be of
interest to activists, policy makers, management and leaders,
scholars, professionals, students, and general readers interested
work-based reform efforts and social change.

Career Psychology describes the theory, science, and practice of
career counseling, a field that serves as the foundation for career
planning, occupational exploration, career decision-making,
vocational choice, job entry, work adjustment, and retirement. This
book usefully consolidates and advances knowledge about the
scientific foundations and practical applications of vocational
psychology and career counseling, a field that serves as the basis
for career planning, occupational exploration, career decision
making, vocational choice, job entry, work adjustment, and
retirement. Chapters written by expert contributors cover key
theories and approaches, core and emerging constructs, cultural
contexts, and career interventions, showing how counselors can
assist diverse groups of people across developmental age periods to
construct personally meaningful and socially relevant work lives.
This comprehensive work will serve as a ready reference on the
evolution, current status, and future directions of vocational
psychology and is useful for researchers, practitioners, and
students alike.
Values are of critical importance in the practice of career
counseling as evidenced by the pervasive use of values surveys and
values card sorts by career counselors, vocational and counseling
psychologists, career development facilitators, career coaches, and
other career development practitioners. The purpose of this book is
to provide practitioners, faculty, and researchers in vocational
psychology and career counseling with a foundational tool to guide
their work. This book focuses on the critical role that values play
in a person's career, addressing values from a broad array of
perspectives, including cultural and international perspectives, to
illuminate the place of values within vocational psychology and
career development. The book will be directed primarily toward
psychology and counselor education faculty who teach advanced
undergraduate and graduate courses in vocational psychology, career
development, career assessment, and career counseling. Although
there is a range of readership (undergraduate and graduate students
as well as professionals already in the field), the authors
understand the differences in reading level and agree to write for
all levels.

Currently, the mental health workforce is neither trained nor
staffed in a way that appropriately addresses the essential needs
of the growing multicultural population. This must change. The 21st
century requires an innovative paradigm in multicultural psychology
in order to improve the standard for mental health professionals.
Building Multicultural Competency answers this need by providing a
new Multiracial/Multiethnic/Multicultural Competency Building
Model-a model that, in great detail, provides relevant solutions to
this growing problem. This book will supply individuals, students,
professionals, educators, and administrators who are involved in
the field of psychology with a map on how to build the
multicultural competency skills that will allow them to function
cross-culturally. The resolutions are personally enriching, helpful
to diverse peoples, and influential to other individuals, groups,
and institutions.
