I was pleased with the product, however I was very disappointed that it took so long to be shipped to me. I got behind in my class readings because my textbook didn’t get to me for over 2 weeks after I ordered it. Was that because I used the free shipping option?
Thank you.

Applying Career Development Theory to Counseling
Since theory always starts with the historical psychological causes of problems, this book is not really about theory, it’s really about how to help individuals find a better future, not how to correct the causes of unemployment, underemployment or job dissatisfaction. Voluminous information, numerous psychometric scales and variables, not well defined and explained, and some explanations are off quite a ways. Examples are shallow and cold, not a model of how to be a professional, expert career counselor. Good books on career development theory are hard to find, especially given the changing world we live in. Hopefully there will be a text that comes out in the direction of “Adaptable Careers: Maximizing Less and Exploring More” by Annelies E M van Vianen, Irene E De Pater, Paul T Y Preenen from The Career Development Quarterly (June 2009, 57-4, pp 298-309).

This book was purchased as the text for a Career Development class in a graduate program in Counseling. We’re using it as a resource to supplement the lectures. I am finding it easy to read and so far very helpful. I especially appreciate the case examples and client/counselor dialogues as well as the information regarding the various tests and inventories which seem to be an integral part of the career counseling environment.
