Even more comprehensive than previous editions, the 4th edition of The Counseling Dictionary fills an important void in the counseling field. It includes nearly 4,000 key terms and abbreviations used in the mental health service delivery system, with definitions that are operational, precise, and written in the developmental and strengths-based language of professional counselors. As our work becomes increasingly interdisciplinary, and the language we use is filled with jargon and abbreviations, this book is a vital reference for all counselors to enhance communication and support the services we provide. --Craig S. Cashwell, PhD
For the counselor-in-training, The Counseling Dictionary is a must-have resource that will become a valued, beloved, and well-worn companion along the journey to becoming a professional counselor. More than a mere dictionary, this book is a pithy and profound compendium of counseling nomenclature. Dr. Gladding is the counseling profession's beloved wizard of words! --Melanie Drake Wallace
The latest edition of this unique and valuable reference for terms, principles, history, and practices in the counseling profession features the clarity and culturally sensitive language of previous volumes. It is an exceptional resource for students, practicing counselors, educators, and supervisors and it should be included in any comprehensive professional counseling library. --S. Allen Wilcoxon, EdD
