Practice Principles: Career Theories and Models at Work

Practice Principles: Career Theories and Models at Work provides career development practitioners with theory-informed principles for everyday application. It is a follow-up to the popular Career Theories and Models at Work: Ideas for Practice book. The new book fills a gap in the field that addresses foundational career practice principles, ensuring that techniques used by practitioners are underpinned by actual theory.

Career practitioners need to be equipped and up-to-date with the latest contemporary theories and models in the field. It is also important for practitioners to make informed choices about the approaches and strategies they use in practice. This book offers:

• A “go-to” guide outlining core foundational principles that every career practitioner can apply in their practice
• A reference practitioners can use to enhance their approaches to career interventions
• An accessible resource they can add to their toolkit or use as a companion manual to Career Theories and Models at Work: Ideas for Practice

Practice Principles is intended for both current practitioners and as well as those just entering the field, and can be used as a supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate courses focused on career counselling. The book includes 10 chapters that illuminate connections between foundational practice principles and the theories and models where they originated.
