Each chapter opens with a "Potential for Practice," illustrating a research-related challenge in the practice of counseling.

Online resources-including videos of group interviews, role-play counseling sessions, and counseling staff meetings-present these Potentials for Practice in experiential ways.

The closest competitors to this textbook are written in formal, technical language, lack online resources accompanying the textbook, and cover research concepts and techniques unlikely to be used by master's-level counselors in practice.
