About this title

Synopsis

Practicum and internship courses are the most challenging and exciting components of a counselor's academic preparation. This hands-on text is the ideal resource for such students as they begin the process of translating counseling theory into effective clinical practice. The authors' clear, conversational approach not only orients students to the challenges of clinical training but also enhances their ability to learn from these experiences. Translating Theory into Practice covers all aspects of counselor training, from the core relationships that are essential to professional development to workable suggestions on selecting a field site, managing cases, terminating with clients, and networking with other mental health professionals. Vignettes and sample dialogues highlight real-world ethical issues and counseling concerns. The text also includes relevant information on state licensing requirements and national standards as well as several major codes of ethics. With insights gleaned from years of both teaching and professional counseling practice, the authors equip students with the skills they need to reap the full benefits that practicum and internship afford.
