Career Counseling: A Holistic Approach

by Vernon G. Zunker

Career Counseling: A Holistic Approach Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This highly successful book has been called the most comprehensive text on the market, providing students with needed career theory as well as practical techniques and examples. Through the author's clear writing style, case examples, tables, and exercises, students develop a solid understanding of the theoretical models of career counseling and are thoroughly exposed to the practical information on how to effectively counsel clients about career issues. As demonstrated by the text's new subtitle, 'A Holistic Approach,' this substantially revised Seventh Edition reflects the growing emphasis on looking at the "whole person"--values, temperament, talents, and passions--to determine his or her best career fit.

Book News Annotation:

This textbook introduces the primary career development theories, explains the function of the intake interview and standardized assessment instruments, and presents innovative counseling models and career counseling programs for special populations. The seventh edition adds chapters on addressing both personal and career concerns, ethical procedures, and elementary school counseling.
