Foundations of Career Counseling: A Case-Based Approach

Rather than simply describing career development theories, the completely updated second edition of Foundations of Career Counseling: A Case-Based Approach uses eight realistic, diverse client scenarios to help students connect with the material and master career counseling content and skills. Balancing both theory and application, chapters about the career counseling process, intake interviews, and the use of tests, card sorts, and resources contain transcripts, examples, and sample assessment results from simulated sessions with these fictional clients. Suzanne Dugger's down-to-earth writing style clearly explains complex concepts in everyday language. Future counselors will develop a thorough understanding of both theory and technique pertaining to career development interventions with children and young adults as well as with adults―including specific populations such as persons with disabilities, military veterans, ex-offenders, homemakers and caretakers transitioning back into the world of work―and even themselves.

This text reflects the many profound changes in the world of work and the profession of career counseling since the first edition was published. Changes include a focus on the massive impact of the COVID pandemic on work and all key updates with respect to assessments, legal and ethical issues, and models and CACREP standards.

Designed for students taking courses in career counseling, this text also provides a full chapter dedicated to the career development of students seeking graduate degrees in counseling.
