'As first a careers practitioner, then educator/trainer of
careers counsellors for over 25 years, I was constantly searching
for books that provided high quality, interesting and (above all)
practical exercises that I could implement in my practice. These
were always hard to come by - especially for the specialist subject
area of careers. This book provides these and a lot more. In
addition to the numerous exercises that are both easy to understand
and would be easy to implement, this book (importantly) places them
within a credible and coherent theoretical framework. This alone,
would be sufficient to make it worthy of recommendation, but in
addition, it provides case study scenarios that illustrate how,
when and why these exercises could be useful. CBT represents a new
and innovative approach for career practitioners. The authors
provide compelling arguments for the value of integrating this
approach within career practice, with chapters focusing
specifically on clients with different needs across a range of
career-related contexts. Particular strengths of the book, in my
view, are the final three chapters on reflective practice, ethical
issues and self-care. Under constant and increasing pressure to
delivery high quality services, practitioners can often neglect
their own professional and personal needs. These chapters provide a
timely reminder of these essential components of effective and
efficient professional career practice. Overall, the authors are to
be congratulated on having produced a book that successfully
combines theory, practice and research, in parallel with
introducing an innovative, evidence-based approach that has
considerable potential to enhance the quality of services' -
