This book is the ideal introductory text for students in career counseling. The book introduces different choice theories and links them each to a fictional case client. This design helps students to understand the differences and similarities between different approaches. The book is divided into three sections: Fundamentals, Theories, and Applications. The third edition includes new chapters on the history of career development and career counseling, contextual influences, career interventions and ethical dilemmas, and several other important topics as well as expanded chapters on a variety of topics including practical assessment of theory. Although the text is designed to help teach students the fundamentals of career counseling, reviewers have reported that the book is also useful for providing students with a better understanding of their own career options.
