The sixth edition of Counseling: A Comprehensive Profession, likes it predecessors, covers every major topic in the counseling field, e.g., history, theory, practice, specialties, current trends, and does so in a very readable and interesting style.  The book is developmental in nature and leads the reader logically and smoothly from one important area to another.  The chapters are illustrated and up-to-date with the most recent research in the field.  This book is often used by students as the main source in studying for the National Counselor Exam (NCE).  It is considered the "gold standard" by which other books in the field are judged since it has been the best-selling book in this area of counseling for 20 years.

  • Emphasis on becoming a professional counselor and the profession of counseling--This book helps readers learn about what counseling is, where it is conducted, what specialties are in the field, and how the process moves from beginning to end with different populations.
  • Comprehensiveness and readability of the text--Readers are able to see the entire spectrum of what counseling is, where it has been, and what its possibilities are in the future.  Students should find the organization of the text and the writing style easy to follow and engaging.  There are case examples and personal reflection sections within each chapter which is helpful to readers in personalizing the material and not just learning facts.
  • The book includes the latest research from counseling journals and prompts the reader throughout to reflect on why he or she is considering entrance into the field--This text gives readers current information as well as challenges them to think why might want to be counselors. 

  • More emphasis on social justice, advocacy, diversity, HIPAA, and different types of addiction--Readers are made aware of the latest trends and developments that impact counseling and how they are currently being addressed in the field.
  • More emphasis and material on women and minority clients of all types, i.e., ethnic, racial, and sexual--Readers are exposed to the changes going on in counseling in working with diverse populations and the challenges and differences associated with various individuals and groups.
  • More emphasis on international counseling and counseling as an international phenomenon--Readers recognize that counseling is not just a North American profession and that around the world counseling uses different models and methods.
