The Professional Counselor as Administrator: Perspectives on Leadership and Management of Counseling Services Across Settings
by Edwin L. Herr Dennis E. Heitzmann Jack R. RaymanA largely undiscussed problem exists in the counseling community. Each year many excellent professional counselors with little or no administrative preparation or leadership experience are asked to assume administrative roles in schools, colleges and universities, state and federal government offices, community agencies, and foundations. The purpose of this book is to lighten their challenge by providing them with knowledge of the basic tasks and tools needed by a professional administrator and, equally important, how to adapt those tasks and tools to various professional settings. Key features of this outstanding new book include the following:*General Skills -- Chapters 1 and 2 address the meanings of the terms leadership, management and administration, examine the tasks associated with each term, and provide the concepts and skills (e.g., strategic planning, budgeting, recruitment and development of staff, use of technology, etc.) needed by any counseling administrator in any setting.*Applications -- Chapters 3-9 examine the similarities and differences in counseling leadership and management in different settings. The point is made that counseling services are rarely stand-alone structures; typically they are part of larger institutions to which they must demonstrate their contribution. No other book examines how counseling services are adapted to different settings.*Expertise -- Written by three professional counselors who collectively have more than 90 years of administrative experience, this book supplements existing research and scholarship with a wealth of personal experience -- especially on those topics where the published literature is thin.This book is appropriate for the following audiences: 1) graduate students in counselor education or counseling psychology who aspire to leadership positions; 2) practicing counselors entering (or those new to) administrative positions; 3) practicing counselors seeking to understand the institutional settings in which they practice; and 4) counseling administrators seeking an easy-to-use reference volume.

Professional Education with Fiction Media: Imagination for Engagement and Empathy in Learning
by Christine Jarvis Patricia GouthroThis book analyses how narrative fictions can be used by faculty and staff in the teaching of professionals in higher education. As professional life becomes ever more demanding, this book draws together the work of researchers and practitioners who have explored the tremendous impact that narrative fictions – novels, short stories, drama and poetry – can have on development. The editors and contributors posit that fiction can help professionals imagine new ways of being, reinvent their roles and tackle problems without a road map. Using fiction can also provide a safe place for the exploration of ethics and decision making, as well as furnishing tools for the development of empathy and engagement by offering vicarious experiences of drastically different lives and situations. A medium that by its very nature contains a multiplicity of interpretations, using fiction in professional education can enhance the education of professionals working in a range of disciplines, including health, education, social care, law and science.

Professional Issues in Clinical Psychology: Developing a Professional Identity through Training and Beyond
by Will CurvisProfessional Issues in Clinical Psychology: Developing a Professional Identity through Training and Beyond offers insights from a range of trainee, recently qualified and experienced clinical psychologists as they reflect on the process of developing their professional identity through consideration of dilemmas and issues they experienced through clinical psychology training. Reflecting the breadth of the profession and the range of services in which clinical psychologists work, the chapters highlight the different types of roles that clinical psychologists are expected to undertake throughout training and post-qualification. The book provides practical clinical recommendations that can be applied in work settings in line with contemporary research, policy and guidance, as well as personal reflections from the authors on how managing professional issues has shaped their practice as a developing clinical psychologist. Developing a professional identity as a clinical psychologist is vital in learning to navigate these challenges. The process by which a professional identity develops is an individual journey. However, Professional Issues in Clinical Psychology offers aspiring, trainee or qualified clinical psychologists - and other healthcare professionals - with a contemporary resource around professional issues which might be encountered within clinical psychology practice.
Professional Issues in Therapeutic Recreation: On Competencies and Outcomes
by Norma J. Stumbo Brent D. Wolfe Shane PeggThe latest edition of Professional Issues in Therapeutic Recreation On Competence and Outcomes recognizes that the profession must continue to challenge the status quo and one another. Issues and ideas are not stagnant; they are forever changing, and the various sections and chapters of this edition will challenge the reader to conceptualize ideas from new perspectives and in a new light. Readers are encouraged to wrestle with the ideas presented. Do not simply read them and file the information away. Interact with the ideas. Discuss the ideas. Argue about the ideas. Whatever you do, do not simply disregard an idea because it represents a viewpoint or perspective that is different from your personal philosophy related to the profession. We challenge all readers to be drawn into the variety of topics, concepts, and perspectives presented in this volume so each can continue to personally grow and enable the profession to continue to grow. Like the first two editions, this effort has four major sections: Introduction, Education, Practice, and Research. It is clear that these divisions are largely arbitrary, as every practice issue affects every research issue, every education issue affects every practice issue, and on and on. However, books require an organizational layout, and these divisions appear to make sense. Each section begins with a Keynote chapter aimed at setting the stage for that particular section. Each section also ends with a Perspective chapter, largely an opinion or viewpoint piece to encourage readers to continue discussion on related issues.
