Therapy, Goldsmiths, University of London ′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′ -
