The Complete Guide To Outplacement Counseling
by Alan J. Pickman Alan J. Pickman, PhDRecognized by business managers as a useful and practical tool to assist them in responding to a set of complex business challenges, the need for outplacement counseling-- the process of assisting employees who have lost their jobs to develop effective career plans and to find new employment --has grown dramatically during the past two decades. Given this rapid expansion of the field, assembling, organizing, and clarifying the body of knowledge and information available about outplacement has become critically important. The first comprehensive effort in the field, this book presents authoritative, up-to-date information on an exhaustive range of outplacement topics. A psychologist and experienced outplacement practitioner, the author has recently been chosen as one of the charter fellows of the Outplacement Institute, the sole certifying organization for outplacement practitioners. Of value to all those interested in the field including current and future practitioners as well as human resources professionals, this volume contains essential information for candidates receiving outplacement services, counseling students, and researchers involved in the study of counseling in business and industry. With such a broad audience in mind, it contains a wide range of information--counseling theory and practical suggestions geared expressly to the needs of practitioners, descriptive material on all topics, and brief case histories of actual outplacement candidates. Written in non-technical language, the volume brings to life the flavor of outplacement practice. This unique volume covers topics not addressed elsewhere in the current outplacement literature including: *the psychological barriers to a successful job search, *the behavioral and counseling implications of the outplacement setting, *the theoretical basis of outplacement counseling, *the relation between outplacement and psychotherapy, *the professional development opportunities for outplacement practitioners, *the supervision of outplacement practitioners, *the cross-cultural issues to be considered in outplacement, *the relation of outplacement to other career development professionals, and *the marketing of outplacement services. Also of importance, the appendices offer data not previously disseminated to the general public including: *competencies standards for OPC practitioners as established by the International Association of Outplacement Professionals (IAOP), *standards of ethical practice for outplacement professionals as established by the IAOP, and *listings of information resources for OPC practitioners and candidates featuring a section on computer-based sources for conducting career-related research.

The Complete Guide to Graduate School Admission: Psychology, Counseling, and Related Professions
by Patricia Keith-Spiegel Michael W. WiedermanShould I go to graduate school? How do I choose where to apply? Are my grades and accomplishments good enough to get in? Who should I ask to write recommendation letters for me, and how should I approach these people? How do I write my "personal statement?" When will I hear my fate, and how should I make my final decision? These are just a few of the many questions to which this well-researched, thorough, and extremely user-friendly book offers answers. Students who are contemplating graduate training in psychology, counseling, and related fields are often apprehensive and confused about applying to graduate school, but this book takes the guesswork and anxiety out of the process. The tone and features (such as the Q&A format, timeline for application-related tasks and activities, and special advice for special populations) that made the first edition so successful, eliciting hundreds of thank-you notes and e-mail messages to the author, are just as evident in this new edition. The book has been thoroughly updated to include coverage of new topics such as use of the internet and e-mail, as well as changing trends in the professions. The most obvious difference is that the book is now significantly shorter as a result of meticulous rewriting, making it even easier to use. There have been attempts since the publication of the first edition to copy the format of this book, but none of the others have successfully duplicated the depth of research-based advice and the supportive style that make this book the guide of choice for thousands of graduate-school bound students and their advisors.
