Reviews / Votes
"Outdoing even their excellent first edition, Brown and Lent have strengthened the emphasis on scientifically- informed career practice and on issues of diversity, individual differences, and social justice. This volume is an essential resource for the library of anyone interested in the field of career development, assessment, and counseling and should also prove invaluable for graduate students interested in immersing themselves in some of the best work being done today in the field of career development and counseling." --Nancy E. Betz, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Psychology, The Ohio State University "In this second edition, Drs. Lent and Brown continue to shape career development discourse and illustrate the ongoing significance of the fields of career development and counseling in the 21st century. Woven into the fabric of each chapter are multicultural and practice implications, addressing the complex sociocultural issues salient in career development. This edition will help both researchers and practitioners alike to better understand, investigate, and promote the role of work in people's lives." --Angela Byars-Winston, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison "This Handbook is a great resource for the student, experienced practitioner, and the researcher in the areas of career counseling and vocational psychology. The coverage of career development theory is detailed and current, and the handbook provides a comprehensive review of approaches to the practice of career counseling. I highly recommend this valuable contribution to the literature." --Gail Hackett, Ph.D., Provost & Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, University of Missouri, Kansas City "Career Development and Counseling 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. If you wish to know why good career counseling works, this is the book for you." --Mark Pope, Ed.D., MCC, Professor and Chair, Department of Counseling and Family Therapy, University of Missouri - Saint Louis Former President, National Career Development Association & American Counseling Association; Editor, The Career Development QuarterlyMore details
