Career Development and Counseling:Theory and Practice in a Multicultural World

Career Development and Counseling by Mei Tang is a core text for courses on career counseling found in departments of counselor education and mental health counseling. The text covers the basic concepts in career development as required by CACREP and integrates these concepts with multiculturalism in a diverse world. The book employs a multicultural framework which is integrated through the entire text, rather than a mere focus on minority groups and populations. The book opens with a presentation of the fundamentals of career development and intervention, then presents the application in career counseling, and concludes with a focus on application across various settings and populations. The book moves from a the "big picture" of career development to the specifics of individual career counseling and application. In addition, each chapter contains numerous case illustrations, learning activities, and additional resources to support their learning.
