With a strong focus on counseling as a specific professional identity, the book includes new information on developing one's own approach to counseling and supervision, maintaining satisfactory working relationships with supervisors and colleagues, developing good writing skills and record keeping, and managing crisis and trauma. The Second Edition also reflects such developments as DSM-5 and CORE/CACREP standards.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With a concise, accessible writing style, the book describes everything students need to know as they enter and progress through the practicum and internship process. Replete with plentiful case examples and downloadable sample forms and templates, this supportive manual encompasses information addressing how to select and apply for practicum/internships in all settings, including mental health, rehabilitation, schools, addictions, and marriage and counseling. It examines such ethical legal and issues as informed consent, confidentiality, client records, boundary issues, and liability insurance. Multicultural considerations that impact counseling along with the importance of self-care including stress management and dealing with aggressive client behaviors are also discussed in detail. This \"mentor in a book\" gives counseling students invaluable assistance in preparing for and successfully assimilating their first experiences with the realities of working with clients, and eases the journey toward developing into a self-confident, skilled, and ethical practitioner.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Second Edition:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Updated to include content on 2014 ACA Ethics Code, CACREP/CORE developments, legal issues, DSM-5, and social media \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Expanded content on developing an individual approach to counseling and supervision \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Provides new information on crisis intervention \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Increased content on supervision styles and models \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Expanded information on student safety at field sites \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Augmented discussion of careers \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Includes expanded self-reflection exercises for the intern \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Provides downloadable versions of student forms and templates \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c/strong\u003e \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Focuses on counseling as a specific professional identity \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Covers everything students need to know as they enter and progress through the practicum/internship process \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Helps students to understand the realities of working with clients after they leave the \"safe\" learning environment \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Mentors students in a supportive, user-friendly style \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Includes abundant case examples \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e Includes abundant forms and templates for students, available as online downloads \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e
