Counseling Theory: Guiding Reflective Practice

by Richard D. Parsons (Editor), Naijian Zhang (Editor)

Organized around the latest CACREP standards, Counseling Guiding Reflective Practice , by Richard D. Parsons and Naijian Zhang, presents theory as an essential component to both counselor identity formation and professional practice. Drawing on the contributions of current practitioners, the text uses both classical and cutting-edge theoretical models of change as lenses for processing client information and developing case conceptualizations and intervention plans. Each chapter provides a snapshot of a particular theory/approach and the major thinkers associated with each theory as well as case illustrations and guided practice exercises to help readers internalize the content presented and apply it to their own development as counselors.
