Reviews

“The title of this second edition of, School Counselors as Practitioners: Building on Theory, Standards, and Experience for Optimal Performance tells the reader exactly what they will learn. Drs. Nelson and Wines have once again presented a comprehensive textbook based on research and evidence-based application that speaks directly to counselors in the field as well as counselors in training. The second edition builds on the foundation of the first edition while updating and expanding on topics critical to school counselors. The new chapters reflect our ever-changing world of social trends, increased trauma, and crisis. It expands on the demands of the school counselor to meet the challenges of responding to students’ social, emotional, and academic pressures. A new chapter I especially appreciate offers personal insights, reflections, and feelings of school counselors in the field. I sincerely hope all school counselors will have this valuable textbook as a resource and guide.” Dr. Mary Nichter, Counselor Educator “School Counselors as Practitioners: Building on Theory, Standards, and Experience for Optimal Performance, lays out the blueprint on how to address the plethora of concerns that school counselors face on a daily basis. Using the school counseling core curriculum helps to delineate the roles and responsibilities of the professional school counselor, thus providing clear direction. As a school counselor administrator and counselor educator, I found this text to be very valuable in assisting counselors in navigating the work they do, by providing them with best practices. “ Dr. Crystal Collins, Director of Guidance and Counseling and Mental Health
