“This textbook offers a unique focus in helping counselors apply developmental issues to their counseling practice. Students reading this book will leave with a clear understanding of the developmental challenges likely to occur among clients of all different ages.”
Counseling Individuals Through the Lifespan is an excellent textbook for graduate counseling students because the counseling profession and concepts are embedded within. I appreciate the developmental theories from Piaget to Kohlberg and Gilligan; Perry, and Vysgotsky -of course Erikson!
I also appreciate the attention to detail on congenital birth difficulties and brain development.
WOW, our society has come along way!
This text covers each aspect of the Life Span I want to incorporate. The layout is perfect and will address the areas of interests for my students.
Clear and concise. Written in accordance with the CACREP standards. Had great instructor resources.
