Introduction to the Counseling Profession

by David Capuzzi (Editor), Douglas R. Gross (Editor)

Designed for students who are taking a preliminary course in the counseling field, Introduction to the Counseling Profession, 7th Edition, provides a comprehensive overview of the history and foundational concepts of counseling, offering the most current and relevant breadth of coverage available from experts in their respective fields. This edition includes topics rarely discussed in introductory texts, such as self-care and self-growth and the use of technology in counseling, as well as a new chapter on crisis counseling. Chapters also reflect updates to the 2016 Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) standards, and a chapter on each CACREP specialization is included. Students will gain insight into the myriad issues that surround not only the process of counseling and its many populations but also the personal dynamics that have an impact on this process. Furthermore, a collection of supplemental resources is available online to benefit both instructors and students. Instructors will find PowerPoint slides and test banks to aid in conducting their courses, and students can access chapter summaries, exercises, and other tools to supplement their review of the material in the text.

This was fine! An overview that was dry at times. If you’re wondering if you can get by with this edition rather than the newest one, you can definitely make it work. Most of the chapters are the same, but there were spots where text was altered, cut, or completely brand new that became apparent to me during class. If you pay attention in class and if the professor gives a good overview of each chapter in class you should be fine.

I wanted to keep a record of everything I've read since joining this application, so I have to count my schoolbooks as well. I did learn a lot from this book but I must say I am glad to put it on the shelf for awhile. I know it will be incredibly handy when I am ready for my licensing exams but for now, I breath a sigh of relief that I am done with it.
