The Professional Practice of Rehabilitation Counseling

by Dennis R. Maki PhD, CRC, NCC (Editor)

Overview

Based on the Handbook of Rehabilitation Counseling (Rigger/Maki 2004), this new volume has been completely revised and updated to accommodate the overarching changes that have recently occurred in the field. It reflects the new, accepted definition of rehabilitation counseling as a specialization within the field of counseling and demonstrates how the knowledge, skills and attitudes of rehabilitation counseling complement those of mental health counseling.

The volume now includes an increased emphasis on education in general counseling, and mental health and substance abuse counseling; empirically supported practice; and a focus on the globalization of professional practice in rehabilitation counseling. It has been organized within a new conceptual framework for ease of use, and is based on the authors' ecological model that is a core framework for the book and the field itself.

Key Features:

• Places rehabilitation counseling firmly within the profession of counseling
• Imparts the essence of the transformative rehabilitation practice
• Compatible with both CORE and CACREP standards for basic professional identity content
• Authored by nationally recognized experts in specialized topics who are acknowledge leaders in their field
• Designed for the practical use of students and instructors of introductory courses, as well as practicing professionals

New to This Edition:

• Learning objectives for each chapter
• Content review and discussion questions for each chapter to enhance active learning
• PowerPoint presentations for instructors' use
• Model syllabus for an introduction to rehabilitation counseling course for instructors

Exhaustive in scope, The Professional Practice of Rehabilitation Counseling will provide the expertise necessary for new graduates and practicing professionals who need to gain licensure and employment opportunities.
