  • Addresses topics rarely treated in other texts including research and writing in counseling (Ch. 4), technology and counseling (Ch. 5), and spirituality counseling (Ch. 11).

  • All chapters have been substantially updated, and nine (of 20) have been entirely rewritten by new authors, including those on helping relationships; spirituality; school counseling; counseling in mental health and private practice settings; counseling gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender clients; and questioning, brining fresh perspectives and new dimensions to these topics.
  •  The chapter on working with people of color, now written by Courtland Lee, has been moved earlier in the book to reflect the importance of this topic.
