"Practicum and Internship is an extremely practical text that assists students in preparing for and successfully completing a practicum and internship. The book compiles foundational information and is written in a reader-friendly style that students will find engaging. I am excited about the sixth edition’s updates on evidence-based practices and crisis and trauma approaches.

"Practicum and Internship is a wonderful required (or suggested) reading for students in the clinical phase of their counselor education program. The book is very user-friendly, engaging, and practical for those emerging into the field of counseling and therapy as well as for counselor educators and supervisors. It includes useful information related to trauma work, running groups, and the tricky topic of the use of technology in counseling. Practicum and Internship is a welcome resource for any counselor’s reference library, and I recommend it wholeheartedly!"—Carol A.

"Counseling students have an outstanding volume of information that must be gleaned and sustained from pre-practicum through internship and beyond. Practicum and Internship offers practical knowledge, resources, and tools that support this navigation. The text translates across all levels, empowers students for success, and provides guidance to instructors and site supervisors. It is a definite must for counseling professionals."—Jennifer Kirk, MEd, counseling curriculum leader and practicum and internship site supervisor at Upper St. Clair High School
