Overview

  A comprehensive overview of the major tenets of the counseling profession, precisely aligned with the 2016 CACREP standards. Current, innovative, and comprehensive, Orientation to the Counseling Profession: Advocacy, Ethics, and Essential Professional Foundations provides a wealth of information on the foundational and emerging issues of the counseling profession. Rather than approaching the field from a more generic ""helping professions"" perspective, it is specifically designed to orient counselors-in-training to the profession of counseling. It includes coverage of advocacy and multicultural counseling, licensure, professional associations, ethical/legal issues, crisis intervention, consultation, supervision, outcomes, research, and the counseling process with diverse applications across the life span, settings, and specialties. Written in keeping with new counselor preparation initiatives–which expose counselors-in-training to essential current and future practices–it prepares students for the future of the counseling practice.   Precisely aligned with the 2016 CACREP standards, this text helps CACREP-accredited programs meet the CACREP standards, and it helps non-CACREP programs provide counselors-in-training with the most current professional training standards. The new edition features a new chapter on crisis intervention, discussion updates and applications of ACA and ASCA codes of ethics, coverage of internet or distance counseling practices, an increased focus on wellness practices within the counseling profession, and employs advocacy counseling, social justice, and technology issues as foundational constructs.
