Organized around the latest CACREP standards, Counseling Theory: Guiding Reflective Practice, by Richard D. Parsons and Naijian Zhang, presents theory as an essential component to both counselor identity formation and professional practice. Drawing on the contributions of current practitioners, the text uses both classical and cutting-edge theoretical models of change as lenses for processing client information and developing case conceptualizations and intervention plans. Each chapter provides a snapshot of a particular theory/approach and the major thinkers associated with each theory as well as case illustrations and guided practice exercises to help readers internalize the content presented and apply it to their own development as counselors.

Clinical researchers who have an active clinical practice are rare. Therapists who conduct therapy research are rarer still. Why is this the case? And why is the study of the practice often so far from the actual practice? If the practice and research worlds of therapy are to be bridged, might clinician-researchers—professionals who do both—play an important role in this process? A career engaged both with providing therapy and researching therapy is unique. This book combines original empirical work, theory, and first-person scholarly narratives authored by clinical mental health professionals in the early, middle, and later stages of their careers as they highlight the rewards, challenges, and potent areas of synergy they experience as clinician-researchers. This book was originally published as a special issue of Counselling Psychology Quarterly.
