Help your students go beyond learning only about theories, and show them how to apply concepts in a counseling setting with Sharf's APPLYING CAREER DEVELOPMENT THEORY TO COUNSELING, International Edition. Useful for practicing counselors and counselors-in-training, Sharf's text covers three major theoretical areas: Trait and Type theory, Life-span theory, and Special-focus theory. The final chapter discusses theoretical integration, using each theory to provide a unique perspective on career development. The text features numerous case examples, discusses practical and theoretical career assessment, and integrates career theory with contemporary and historical labor-market information. Information about websites for internships, counseling organizations, and jobs has been added to help readers (and their clients) in their careers. Also included are the 2009 CACREP standards for Career Development. Highly praised for its clear writing style, relevant case examples, and extensive diversity coverage, APPLYING CAREER DEVELOPMENT THEORY TO COUNSELING, International Edition strikes the ideal balance between theory and application.
