As expected for a textbook, lots of good material presented in the most boring manner possible. It was for a graduate level course, so I guess that is expected.

[Charlene McKenzie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good content with extensive coverage. Very dry 'textbook' style of delivery though. Also very American orientated at times (whole pages about statistics of demographics that is not in any way relevant outside of U.S.).

[Alex · Rating 3 out of 5]

A comprehensive textbook that addresses many aspects of career development counseling. This seems to be more of a broad overview of the multitude of ways that that a counselor might interact with their client. Everything from theories, to cultural competency to the use of technology. The authors also foray in particular stages of development, as far as education level and life stage. A bit dry, but useful to reference when engaging in career counseling.

This textbook was helpful for getting a general idea about many theories and career development in general. As I am hoping to be a school counselor, implications for school counselors that were noted in the text were very helpful. The content was covered lightly, but the book was a great first start for future career counselors.

This was a book required for my graduate level career counseling class. The content was good, however, it was not well organized, the headings did not track for me, making it difficult to read and understand.
