Description

Counseling Journeys: Reflections and Voices from the Field by Gerald Corey is designed to help students navigate the professional and personal aspects of a career in counseling. Stemming from numerous presentations and sessions at professional conferences, it extends the conversation to a broader audience, aiming to inspire counselors in training and those already embarking on their professional journey.

This text encompasses an array of topics pertinent to becoming a counseling professional. It uniquely features personal essays from eminent figures in the field, detailing their career trajectories and insights. Key topics covered in its 15 chapters include professional development paths, mentorship, graduate school strategies, internships, supervision dynamics, and counseling careers overview. Additional themes address counselor identity, self-care principles, the counselor's role in multicultural and social justice advocacy, ethical practice, addressing value conflicts, insights into the future of the profession, counseling theory, group counseling, and authorship in the discipline. Each chapter concludes with reflection questions aimed at facilitating personal application of the discussed topics.

In addition to being an ideal reference for newly minted counselors, Counseling Journeys is perfect for graduate-level courses such as introduction to the counseling profession, practicum and internship seminars, career exploration in counseling, professional ethics, counseling theories, and multicultural counseling courses.
