Description

Introduction to Clinical Mental Health Counseling presents a broad overview of the field of clinical mental health and provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to successfully put theory into practice in real-world settings. Authors Joshua C. Watson and Michael K. Schmit provide an overview of the foundations of clinical mental health counseling paired with emerging trends and population-specific considerations. The text introduces students to emerging paradigms in the field such as mindfulness, behavioral medicine, neuroscience, recovery-oriented care, provider care, person-centered treatment planning, and holistic wellness, while emphasizing the importance of selecting evidence-based practices appropriate for specific clients, issues, and settings. Considerations of real-world topics prepare counselors to work with third-party managed care companies, participate in multidisciplinary treatment and community-based care teams, and positions students to serve as effective advocates for their clients and the communities in which they live and work. Aligned with 2016 CACREP standards and offering practical activities and case examples, this text will prepare future counselors for the realities of clinical practice.
