For Community/Agency Counseling Courses

If you’re a student looking for a comprehensive guide to clinical mental health counseling, this book is for you. It provides a strong foundation for building counseling skills that addresses the latest Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) standards.

A User-Friendly Approach to Clinical Mental Health Counseling

In today’s rapidly changing world, mental health counselors need to adapt and evolve their practice. This book focuses on approaches that promote prevention, early intervention, wellness, and advocacy, giving you a user-friendly yet scholarly approach to all aspects of clinical mental health counseling.

As the CACREP now recognizes only Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) programs that have met the accreditation standards, the authors focus exclusively on clinical mental health counseling to give you a strong base in this specialty area.

Comprehensive Coverage of Clinical Mental Health Counseling

This book covers the history and professional foundations of counseling, legal and ethical issues, counseling with diverse populations, multiple roles and functions of clinical mental health counselors, and the many settings in which clinical mental health counselors practice.

Real-life narratives from mental health professionals employed across counseling settings provide valuable insights into the rewards and challenges associated with the services they provide. Case studies in each chapter also give you the opportunity to grapple with challenging issues faced by clinical mental health counselors.

Learn with MyLab Counseling

This title is also available with MyLab Counseling, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to engage you and improve results. Within its structured environment, you’ll see key concepts demonstrated through video clips, practice what you learn, test your understanding, and receive feedback to guide your learning and ensure you master key learning outcomes.
