Editorial Reviews

Review
"The text is an outstanding contribution to the field of career development. It provides an interactive approach to learning and conceptualizing career development theories and career counseling approaches. The text encourages practitioners and students to examine theory and incorporate theory into practice, a luxury not often afforded in a classroom setting. Swanson and Fouad have developed a text that remains useful, both in the classroom and as a tool for career development practitioners." (Kimberly Hendry )

Product Description
The authors of this book demonstrate with case examples how to apply career development theories to career counselling practice. Each chapter applies a different theory to case examples and - to provide continuity - to a fictitious `client' constructed from many past clients of the authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Systematic approach to career development theories., January 29, 2002
This book makes an excellent supplement to any text in a career development course. Swanson and Fouad utilize 7 different theoretical approaches in order to integrate and apply career development theory.

The case studies make excellent use of theory and actual practice.

By Elaine Curry (Vermont, USA) - See all my reviews
One of the better books on career counseling. Theories are presented, and greatly enhanced by in-depth application of theory to case studies.
