Written for undergraduate students and other prospective counselors, A Guide to Graduate Programs in Counseling is the first of its kind to create a comprehensive, reliable means of learning about the counseling profession, entry level preparation (i.e., master's degrees in counseling specializations), and what to consider when searching for, applying to, and ultimately selecting a graduate program in counseling that is the "perfect fit." The Guide offers vital information relative to accreditation and its importance in the counseling profession with regards to obtaining licensure, certification, and even employment opportunities after graduating. As a CACREP publication, this book is the official source of information about accredited counseling programs and includes information about what counseling programs seek in candidates, what programs can offer students in terms of professional development and job placement, and guidance on personal and practical considerations for entering the counseling profession. Authored by counseling experts and featuring insights from voices in the field, A Guide to Graduate Programs in Counseling is a must-have resource for anyone interested in becoming a professional counselor. This text is an official publication of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), the counseling profession's recognized accreditation body. The book fulfills a need for individuals considering a career in the counseling profession.

The counseling profession is projected to grow 29% between 2012-2022, faster than the average for all occupations according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Sprawl Busting

As sprawl threatens ever-larger chunks of the American landscape, planners and public officials nationwide are talking about the potential benefits of smart growth. Several states are on the verge of legislating new programs that mandate growth management planning at the regional and local levels. A few states already have a long history of state sponsored land-use programs, but until now their experiences have not been analyzed or documented. Just in time, Jerry Weitz has written this thorough review of three decades of growth management efforts in the pioneering states of Florida, Georgia, Washington, and Oregon. Their experiences teach valuable lessons on how to craft legislation, set up administrative structures, and encourage local and regional governments to participate in mandated land-use planning. Weitz identifies three principal components of state sponsored land-use planning: intergovernmental (local, regional, and state) structures; state requirements for local planning; and state support functions (for example, grants, technical assistance, and data). He documents and analyzes the various programsi minimum standards for local land-use plans. Because he compares the structure of programs independent of politics and policy processes, his analyses and observations are applicable elsewhere. Exhaustively researched and well-illustrated with maps, charts, and tables, this book will be an invaluable resource for planning historians, students, and especially for planners and elected officials who devise and carry out state programs to guide growth in the next century.
Building State Capability

Governments play a major role in the development process, and constantly introduce reforms and policies to achieve developmental objectives. Many of these interventions have limited impact, however; schools get built but children don't learn, IT systems are introduced but not used, plans are written but not implemented. These achievement deficiencies reveal gaps in capabilities, and weaknesses in the process of building state capability. This book addresses these weaknesses and gaps. It starts by providing evidence of the capability shortfalls that currently exist in many countries, showing that many governments lack basic capacities even after decades of reforms and capacity building efforts. The book then analyses this evidence, identifying capability traps that hold many governments back - particularly related to isomorphic mimicry (where governments copy best practice solutions from other countries that make them look more capable even if they are not more capable) and premature load bearing (where governments adopt new mechanisms that they cannot actually make work, given weak extant capacities). The book then describes a process that governments can use to escape these capability traps. Called PDIA (problem driven iterative adaptation), this process empowers people working in governments to find and fit solutions to the problems they face. The discussion about this process is structured in a practical manner so that readers can actually apply tools and ideas to the capability challenges they face in their own contexts. These applications will help readers devise policies and reforms that have more impact than those of the past.
