Genre: Psychology

This book was written to provide a professional resource which describes comprehensively what a professional counselor is, what a professional counselor does, and where and when a professional counselor works. The first chapter presents a perspective on professional counseling and differentiates between professional counselors and other mental health specialists. Assumptions about professional counselors are discussed and the professional counselor is seen as a practitioner-scientist. The evolution of the counseling profession is reviewed in chapter 2 and the present-day counseling profession is described. The third chapter focuses on the professional preparation of counselors, defining issues in counselor preparation, and examining standards of preparation and accreditation. Chapter 4 reviews various theoretical models of counseling (psychoanalytic, client/person-centered, behavioral, cognitive, and affective models) and looks at counseling theory and practice. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 examine assessment and measurement, career development and counseling, and consultation, respectively. Chapter 8 focuses on research in professional counseling, providing suggestions for research designs, selection of variables and subjects, and statistical analyses. Chapter 9 examines trends in professional counseling, describing trends in both settings where professional counselors work and clientele with whom counselors work. Professionalism in counseling is the focus of chapter 10, which is followed by the Code of Ethics adapted from the Ethical Standards of the American Personnel and Guidance Association. (NB)

The majority of professors have never had a formal course in education, and the most common method for learning how to teach is on-the-job training. This represents a challenge for disciplines with ever more complex subject matter, and a lost opportunity when new active learning approaches to education are yielding dramatic improvements in student learning and retention. This book aims to cover all aspects of teaching engineering and other technical subjects. It presents both practical matters and educational theories in a format useful for both new and experienced teachers. It is organized to start with specific, practical teaching applications and then leads to psychological and educational theories. The "practical orientation" section explains how to develop objectives and then use them to enhance student learning, and the "theoretical orientation" section discusses the theoretical basis for learning/teaching and its impact on students. Written mainly for PhD students and professors in all areas of engineering, the book may be used as a text for graduate-level classes and professional workshops or by professionals who wish to read it on their own. Although the focus is engineering education, most of this book will be useful to teachers in other disciplines. Teaching is a complex human activity, so it is impossible to develop a formula that guarantees it will be excellent. However, the methods in this book will help all professors become good teachers while spending less time preparing for the classroom. This is a new edition of the well-received volume published by McGraw-Hill in 1993. It includes an entirely revised section on the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and new sections on the characteristics of great teachers, different active learning methods, the application of technology in the classroom (from clickers to intelligent tutorial systems), and how people learn.

Political correctness if one of the primary enemies of freedom of thought in higher education today, undermining our ability to acquire, transmit, and process knowledge. Political correctness limits the variation of ideas by an ideologically driven concern for hue rather than view. This volume is not simply another rant; there are good data here, along with well-crafted, hard-to-ignore logical interpretations and arguments. It is the sort of work that those who adhere to idea-limiting notions of the university will try to trivialize. That alone should make it important reading. --Michael Schwartz, president emeritus, Kent State University and Cleveland State University
