Career-Focused Counseling: Integrating Culture, Development, and Neuroscience provides readers with a highly practical, research-based guide that focuses on understanding the individual and applying counseling skills to career-related concerns. The book approaches career development and theory through the lens of counseling, and views career concerns as just one of many issues clients present.
Opening chapters present ethical and historical considerations in the field, neuroscience basics, and a detailed discussion of culture and diversity in career-focused counseling. Additional chapters cover the essentials of career-focused counseling and theory and assessment. Readers learn about leading career theories and their application, as well as career-focused counseling in K-12 settings and within the contexts of emerging adulthood and adulthood. Closing chapters cover a myriad of concerns in career-focused counseling, illuminating the interplay of career, mental health, and modern life. The book’s coverage of timely issues—including the COVID-19 pandemic, the Great Resignation, trauma-informed care, and more—render it a highly contemporary and relevant resource.
Career-Focused Counseling is an exceptional training tool for counselors working—or planning to work—in school, agency, and community settings.
