Handbook of Counselor Preparation

Published in cooperation with the Association of Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) This definitive single-volume guide is the first of its kind on teaching and developing counselor educator programs that embrace constructivist and developmental theory. Leading scholars and experts offer practical advice on teaching courses in every area of counseling practice. As a result the book is ideal for current and future counselor educators and supervisors as well as faculty in other helping professions. The authors seek to inspire educators to empower and involve to risk losing control over subject matter to hear student voices to pose dilemmas and to challenge their own assumptions in the presence of their students using constructivist developmental and experiential thinking and strategies. Dear InstructorsSage and ACES are pleased to announce that we together have published the first comprehensive guide to educating future counselors in the form of the Handbook of Counselor Preparation: Constructivist Developmental and Experiential Approaches which has been co-edited by Garrett McAuliffe and Karen Eriksen with contributions from leading counselor educators from two countries. In this book you will find rich accessible guides to teaching in general and to teaching specific courses in the counseling curriculum. From foundations in constructivist teaching including guides to the seminal works of Dewey and Kohlberg to suggestions for teaching and student evaluation practices the Handbook will function as the fundamental text for your course. We hope you will adopt this first-of-a-kind text for this course.Sage Publications Inc. ACESGarrett McAuliffe and Karen Eriksen
