Review :
“Practicum and Internship is a must have for students in the clinical phase of their counselor education program. It’s an incredibly comprehensive and practical resource for students emerging into the field of clinical counseling and therapy and is a wonderful supplement to the information students receive in their educational programs. It’s the type of book that won’t be sold back!” Carol A. Corbett, PhD, LPC, NCC, assistant professor, Chestnut Hill College “Practicum and Internship is the most comprehensive and practical guide for students in their practicum/internship experience! Rather than offer generic advice, this textbook provides concrete tools, tailored to real-world needs and situations. If you're a student preparing for practicum/internship or an early career counseling professional, this book is an invaluable resource.” David Delmonico, PhD, LPC, professor of counselor education, Duquesne University
