The challenging, complex critical incidents counselors educators navigate within their multiple roles become learning opportunities for growth and development. As we have trained and mentored counselor education doctoral students and new counselor educators, as well as reflected back on our own experiences as counselor educators, we are reminded of the similarities in the challenging situations we have experienced. Learning from others' experiences may help aspiring and new counselor educators and supervisors avoid pitfalls in addressing similar situations. Thus, we designed this book to help you navigate critical incidents commonly experienced in counselor education and supervision. The cases are largely fictitious or composite, but the situations are real and experienced by counselor educators frequently in their work settings"--

"This text is designed to illustrate how theory is translated into practice by the proponents of those theories. Its uniqueness in this regard, however, relies heavily on the emphasis we place on how the theoretical practitioners manage each of the critical incidents they encounter." --p. 3.

In this textbook, prominent counselor educators provide guidance on key aspects of counselor education through case incidents in which an educator, student, supervisor, supervisee, researcher, or leader in the field is facing an ethical, moral, legal, or professional dilemma. Forty diverse case scenarios spanning four CACREP Standard domains for doctoral programs focus on real-world application of theories, concepts, and techniques. The incidents provide multiple perspectives on current issues faced in practice and promote learning opportunities for growth and development through critical thinking, discussion, and reflection. Each incident includes an evaluation of professional issues, a review of appliable ethical codes, a discussion of diversity and inclusion considerations, and an analysis of action steps and outcomes. *Requests for digital versions from ACA can be found on www.wiley.com. *To request print copies, please visit the ACA website here. *Reproduction requests for material from books published by ACA should be directed to [email protected]
