The sixth edition of Counseling: A Comprehensive Profession, likes it predecessors, covers every major topic in the counseling field, e.g., history, theory, practice, specialties, current trends, and does so in a very readable and interesting style. The book is developmental in nature and leads the reader logically and smoothly from one important area to another. The chapters are illustrated and up-to-date with the most recent research in the field. This book is often used by students as the main source in studying for the National Counselor Exam (NCE). It is considered the "gold standard" by which other books in the field are judged since it has been the best-selling book in this area of counseling for 20 years. Highlights of the New Edition: More emphasis on social justice, advocacy, diversity, HIPAA, and different types of addiction--Readers are made aware of the latest trends and developments that impact counseling and how they are currently being addressed in the field. More emphasis and material on women and minority clients of all types, i.e., ethnic, racial, and sexual--Readers are exposed to the changes going on in counseling in working with diverse populations and the challenges and differences associated with various individuals and groups. More emphasis on international counseling and counseling as an international phenomenon--Readers recognize that counseling is not just a North American profession and that around the world counseling uses different models and methods.

They sent me the internationally adapted version aimed for students in India. I am in the US, so it's not quite relevant to me. Also, the book they sent me had a completely different ISBN than the one that is advertised here, so please be aware that this is not the actual textbook you are ordering. The good thing is, you can at least return it! But if you actually want the 8th edition of Counseling: A Comprehensive Profession by Samuel T. Gladding, consider buying elsewhere. I got my replacement copy from Amazon and it was a good experience.

Too old
I thought I was getting an edition comparable to what I needed. Instead I got an edition that was about 4 editions back from the 1970s. Thankfully, quite a bit of the information is the same (I guess psychology hasn't changed too too much in 35+ years) but it lacked updates that I needed for class. There were 2 totally new chapters and some social issues are very different.
