Description and Table of Contents

Description

This edition has retained valuable aspects of the previous edition, while reflecting the changes and professional growth which took place in the seven years between the publication of the two books. The text serves two purposes: helping students become professional counsellors by providing an orientation to the profession; and providing practising professional counsellors with a current review of both the counselling profession and the curricular content required for the preparation of counsellors. Accreditation standards for counsellor preparation programmes stipulate that students are to receive a "professional orientation". This book provides information about roles and functions, knowledge and skills, and ethical considerations for professional counselling. It contains an explanation of activities, behaviours and guidelines and covers legal and ethical considerations, areas viewed by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs as essential for high-quality counsellor preparation.
