Clinical Experiences in Counseling (Merrill Counseling) offers interns and practicum students practical, essential information necessary for successfully completing clinical experiences. Authored by Bradley Erford, this 1st edition book bridges the gap between theory and practice, focusing on the critical juncture of training—practicum and internship. Packed with case examples, self-assessments, activities, and “voices from the field,” it covers vital topics such as integrating theory and practice, building relationships, setting goals, record keeping, supervision processes, assessment and intervention, wellness, ethical considerations in law, working with special issues and populations, and self-evaluation. The book is designed to help students confidently join the counseling profession after their training.
