Applying Career Development Theory to Counseling

Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends. Buying used can beat renting when the sell-back price is high, so compare the sell-back price with the rental price before you decide. An eTextbook arrives instantly but usually expires. Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9780495804703) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.

About This Book

"Go beyond theory to show students how to apply principles in a counseling setting with Sharf, Applying career development theory to counseling, Fifth Edition. Useful for practicing counselors and counselors-in-training, Sharf covers three major theoretical areas (trait and type, life-span and special-focus theories), in the last chapter discusses theoretical integration with each theory providing a unique perspective on career development. The text features numerous case examples, discusses practical and theoretical career assessment, and integrates labor-market information with career theory. Highly praised for its clear writing style, useful case examples and diversity coverage, Sharf strikes the ideal balance between theory and application."--Publisher's website.
