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.
