Career Development and Counseling : Putting Theory and Research to Work

Editorial Reviews
Review
I would highly recommend Brown & Lent’s "Career development and counseling handbook: Putting theory and research to work" to students, practitioners, and researchers in Counseling Psychology and related fields. Some of the most outstanding senior scholars as well as promising newer voices in the field have contributed chapters. The range of topics is impressive and the quality of the contributions is uniformly high. I particularly admire the combination of career theory and practical applications, and the careful attention to diversity throughout the work. This is an absolutely outstanding contribution to the literature in career development and counseling.

This is an important contribution to the empirically-based practice of career counseling and development. Brown and Lent have provided an important consolidation of the empirical literature on vocational psychology. This is a must-have for any researcher in vocational psychology or career counseli ng or anyone who wishes to understand the empirical underpinnings of the practice of career counseling. Each chapter is a gem as the authors provide a comprehensive review of the published literature in the various aspects of vocational psychology and career counseling. If you wish to know why good career counseling works, this is the book for you.
