Career Theory and Practice: Learning Through Case Studies, Second Edition, provides the reader with hands-on, practical examples of how to apply career development theories to career counseling clients. This book serves as that bridge between theory and practice.

The second edition includes a new chapter (Chapter 2) highlighting the importance of various types of assessment in career counseling, and addressing the role of ethics and professional issues. You will find added material that highlights the role of the economy and the changing nature of the workforce that influence the career and work decisions individuals make throughout the book.
