[Ebook PDF] Professional Counseling: A Process Guide to Helping, 8th Edition

ISBN-13: 978-0134165776

Author: Harold L. Hackney (Author), Janine M. Bernard (Author)

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, Hackney and Bernard’s The Professional Counselor offers a solid grounding in counseling skills and an understanding of how these skills are used within different therapy orientations, including affective, cognitive, behavioral, and systemic domains. It presents students with a four-stage model of counseling which shows them how to assess client problems, develop counseling goals, define strategies and select interventions, and terminate and evaluate the counseling relationship. The new co-author of this edition, Janine M. Bernard, brings her expertise in clinical supervision to help deconstruct the counseling process for learners, resulting in effective editing of all chapters in this edition. Also included is a discussion of the application of counseling interventions to Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivation Interviewing, so that students can appreciate that skills are not distinct from therapy approaches they will use in their clinical courses. Included are new case examples drawing from different specialties within counseling, and more than 40 new web-based video samples illustrating the content of the book.

PREFACE
New to this Edition
The eighth edition of Professional Counseling introduces a slightly new title and a new coauthor. Our new title (from The Professional Counselor) stresses the process of counseling as the crux of the
text, which, of course, is what it has always been. With this edition, Dr. Janine M. Bernard brings her expertise in the supervision of counselors as an important lens through which to look at the fundamentals of how the counseling process is explained to counselors-in-training. As with other new editions, we set out to enhance and broaden the concepts inherent in the process of helping others.
Professional counseling is a vibrant and evolving entity. It grows through the practice of skilled counselors, explorations of researchers, and musings of thoughtful scholars. This text, therefore, continues to evolve to reflect the current nuances we see in our beloved profession. Those nuances also reflect our experiences with our students as we observe their challenges, hear their questions, and see what seems to resonate with them. There is no question that our students, most of whom now represent the Millennial Generation, inform us about the counseling process, sometimes in ways we didn’t see coming! Therefore, with the helpful suggestions of independent reviewers, dedicated students and colleagues, new areas for improvement emerge. New to this edition are the following:
• A revision of the 5-stage model of counseling to a 4-stage model that carries working relationship skills across all stages
• Adding new case examples and revising older ones to illustrate how skills and competencies are applied to clients more likely seen in mental health agencies and those who present in educational settings
• Updating how culture is infused into the counseling process
• More than 40 new end-of-chapter web-based video samples that illustrate skills and procedures discussed in each chapter
• A new section on how to evaluate your counseling
• Many new sections within chapters, including the introduction of “second order” interventions
• A new section in each intervention chapter concerning how interventions is used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and, where appropriate, Motivational Interviewing
• The addition of new forms in Appendix B Features of this Book
This edition maintains a number of features that have long set this book apart from most other introductory counseling textbooks and include the following:
• A four-stage model that provides students with a roadmap for assessing client progress, helps students plan for interventions, and encourages students to view counseling as an intentional process with an end in sight.
• Clear guidelines for assessing cases using four orientations—affective, cognitive, behavioral, and systemic—that help students apply what they have learned in counseling theory courses to the actual practice of counseling.
• The application of the four orientations for interventions to two popular therapy approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
• Cultural dimensions of counseling viewed as positionality versus an emphasis on demographics, as well as a more nuanced treatment of culture throughout the text. Examples include the addition of what might be considered “lesser” cultural identities (e.g., urban culture, military culture) but may play significant roles in the development of problems (Chapter 1); the use of assessment tools, such as the genogram to track cultural dimensions for individuals and families (Chapter 6); references to culture throughout all interventions chapters so as to remind the reader of the role of cultural identities and realities in counseling, but in a manner that does not reinforce stereotypes (Chapters 8 through 11).
• Sections throughout the text that apply chapter content to working with children.
• Identification of “meaning” as a counseling issue and how it is addressed for both spiritual and nonspiritual clients.
• Sections in each chapter that discuss how clients react to the stages of counseling and to different intervention orientations.
• Separate chapters on client assessment (Chapter 5) and treatment planning (Chapter 7) that help students incorporate specific counseling interventions as they are learning them.
• Discussion of treatment planning that reflects the influence of third-party payors and the necessity of knowing how to plan treatments that meet third-party criteria.
• Helpful boxed material throughout the chapters that summarizes and illustrates skills.
• A series of forms and guides (Appendix B) that illustrate the management of counseling cases.
• A chart that identifies those Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs Standards (CACREP, 2016) that are addressed in each of the chapters
