The Counseling Experience: A Theoretical and Pratical Approach

by Michael E. Cavanagh

This much-anticipated Second Edition continues the tradition of excellence established in the First Edition by offering a theoretically sound, practical approach to counseling. It reflects the insights and advances of two decades of counseling research and clinical experience, including updated clinical examples and new information on ethics, diagnosis, treatment, and psychopharmacology. Its revised philosophical perspectives underlie counseling initiatives in the twenty-first century. The Counseling Experience, 2/E, is a text that students, counselor educators, and clients will find useful and illuminating. It is not only an invaluable guide as students learn to translate counseling theory into effective clinical practice, but also an indispensable reference as they become seasoned mental health practitioners.

Another fantastic book for new counselors. Really a step-by-step guide on how to deal with serious issues all counselors will face, from suicide in children as young as 4, to resistance and coping mechanisms. Also goes through the stages of counseling, which is nice. Great book.

I really enjoyed this book as part of an applied counseling class. It broke the stages of counseling into clear steps and was a great guide. There were insites and tools that were valuable throughout the book.
