Overview
For courses in Community/Agency Counselling. Rapid changes in our world compel changes in the way mental health counsellors must practice. Focusing on approaches that promote prevention, early intervention, wellness, and advocacy, Clinical Mental Health Counseling in Community and Agency Settings gives today's counselling students a user-friendly yet scholarly approach to all aspects of their future profession. The Council for the Accreditation of Counselling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) now recognises only Clinical Mental Health Counselling (CMHC) programs that have met the accreditation standards; therefore, the authors now focus exclusively on clinical mental health counselling to give students a strong base in this specialty area. Gladding and Newsome examine the history and professional foundations of counselling, legal and ethical issues, counselling with diverse populations, multiple roles and functions of clinical mental health counselors, and the many settings in which clinical mental health counselors practice. Information presented in the chapters is supplemented with narratives supplied by mental health professionals employed across counselling settings, who share their views of the rewards and challenges associated with the services they provide. In addition, case studies in each chapter provide opportunities for students to grapple with challenging issues faced by clinical mental health counsellors.
