Our relationships enrich our lives. Strong bonds with family,
friends, and colleagues make our lives full and vibrant, but they
can also be a source of distress or even trauma. Few relationships
are perfect, and we often find ourselves let down by even the
people we count on most; learning to navigate the challenges is
vital to protecting our health and wellbeing. In this book the
author presents a model for forgiveness that addresses how we
either repair relationships when someone has harmed us, or how we
move forward when relationships are beyond repair. Repairing a
relationship is not always practical. The model presented in this
book can be helpful to promote self-healing and to either
re-establish relationships with others or move forward when
reconciliation is harmful or not possible. Practicing Forgiveness
draws on the perspectives of counseling professionals from across
the country to explore contextual and cultural aspects of
forgiveness with stories, humor, clinical examples, research, and
empirical findings, while also considering the influence of
environment and religion. The forgiveness process is a universal
one, and this book serves as a resource to anyone wishing to gain
insight into their own personal journey.
Counseling Youth: Systemic Issues and Interventions highlights the
nature of counseling youth and implementing interventions from a
systemic perspective. This systemic perspective focuses on the
multitude of issues and systems that impact youth and mental
health, such as academic progress and achievement; emotional and
behavioral problems; and overall behaviors that impact physical and
emotional well-being. As these aforementioned issues are addressed,
highlighted are the roles of various systems, including schools,
mental health facilities, medical facilities, juvenile justice
systems, and refugee services, as well as services geared to
special populations, such as LGBT+ youth and undocumented immigrant
minors. Included in this text is a brief overview of
child-adolescent development that then focuses on issues, policies,
and services for counseling youth in schools, communities, and
clinical settings. Central to this book are the issues that
families, schools, and communities are having difficulty
addressing, such as trauma, abuse, suicide, teen pregnancy, and
antisocial behavior, and the key to addressing these issues by
utilizing a variety of resources within the system and advocating
for systemic change. Utilized is a multidimensional focus on
development, issues, and strategies, providing an integrative
approach so that clinicians (present and future) have an
understanding of the theory, concerns, policies, and approaches for
working youth. This book also utilizes a transtheoretical approach
and attempts to provide an overview of approaches and interventions
regardless of theoretical approach. Unlike books that focus on a
singular model, this approach is to speak to a variety of
individuals training to be clinicians from a variety of backgrounds
(e.g., social work, marriage and family therapy, counseling,
psychology).
Students often experience assessment courses, and subsequently the
textbooks used for the course, as a statistics-heavy class
accompanied by an encyclopedia of a variety of assessments.
Assessment in Counseling alternatively emphasizes the skills used
in assessment, thereby enabling students to apply these skills
across a broad range of assessment instruments and strategies.
Assessment, like most core areas of counseling, has a theoretical
basis and a pertinent, practical component. However, this practical
component often gets lost in the application of the skills and use
of instruments that heavily rely on psychometric properties.
Written in an accessible, conversational tone, this text focuses on
the application of the theoretical and measurement concepts of
assessment in counseling and introduces three case studies that are
followed throughout the text. Additionally, instead of introducing
readers to a plethora of instruments, the authors select seminal
measures that students are likely to approach and use in the
profession. Through the use of this text and course content, one
will acquire the skills to search, select, and administer the type
of assessment instruments that he/she deems helpful for their
practice as a professional counselor, regardless of specialization.
Ultimately, this textbook serves as an invaluable guide for
administering, scoring, interpreting, and communicating assessment
results.
