Riassunto

"This is a must-have for any researcher in vocational psychology or career counseling, or anyone who wishes to understand the empirical underpinnings of the practice of career counseling."

Today's career development professional must choose from a wide array of theories and practices in order to provide services for a diverse range of clients. Career Development and Counseling: Putting Theory and Research to Work focuses on scientifically based career theories and practices, including those derived from research in other disciplines. Driven by the latest empirical and practical evidence, this text offers the most in-depth, far-reaching, and comprehensive career development and counseling resource available.

Career Development and Counseling includes coverage of:

• Major theories of career development, choice, and adjustment
• Informative research on occupational aspirations, job search success, job satisfaction, work performance, career development with people of color, and women's career development
• Assessment of interests, needs and values, ability, and other important constructs
• Occupational classification and sources of occupational information
• Counseling for school-aged youth, diverse populations, choice-making, choice implementation, work adjustment, and retirement
• Special needs and applications including those for at-risk, intellectually talented, and work-bound youth; people with disabilities; and individuals dealing with job loss, reentry, and career transitions

Edited by two of the leading figures in career development, and featuring contributions by many of the most well-regarded specialists in the field, Career Development and Counseling: Putting Theory and Research to Work is the one book that every career counselor, vocational psychologist, and serious student of career development must have.

Recensione:

I would highly recommend Brown & Lent s "Career development and counseling handbook: Putting theory and research to work" to students, practitioners, and researchers in Counseling Psychology and related fields. Some of the most outstanding senior scholars as well as promising newer voices in the field have contributed chapters. The range of topics is impressive and the quality of the contributions is uniformly high. I particularly admire the combination of career theory and practical applications, and the careful attention to diversity throughout the work. This is an absolutely outstanding contribution to the literature in career development and counseling.
Gail Hackett, Vice Provost for Academic Personnel, Professor, Counseling Psychology, Arizona State University

This is an important contribution to the empirically–based practice of career counseling and development. Brown and Lent have provided an important consolidation of the empirical literature on vocational psychology. This is a must–have for any researcher in vocational psychology or career counseli ng or anyone who wishes to understand the empirical underpinnings of the practice of career counseling. Each chapter is a gem as the authors provide a comprehensive review of the published literature in the various aspects of vocational psychology and career counseling. If you wish to know why good career counseling works, this is the book for you.
