"Transforming the School Counseling Profession" is an introduction that conveys how the roles of the professional school counselor fit together comprehensively. Using easy-to-understand language and illustrated with numerous applied examples, case studies and vignettes, it connects theory to practice with real examples of practitioners applying concepts in their own practices. School counseling is changing rapidly, and the "6th Edition" accurately reflects these developments in practice and the literature. More than 60% of references are dated 2015 or later; the text fully conforms to the 2024 CACREP standards and reflects changes in the ACA Code of Ethics (ACA, 2014), ASCA Ethical Standards (ASCA, 2022a), and American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5-TR (APA, 2022); and more. Hallmark features of this title: (1) A systemic, data-driven approach: All chapters provide systems-level perspectives to focus readers on system-wide interventions, and to show how data-driven school counseling programs are effectively implemented through important leadership, advocacy, and accountability initiatives; (2) Perspectives of real practitioners: Voices from the Field features spotlight professional school counselors as they discuss their daily challenges and successes; and (3) Coverage of critically important areas for school counselors includes using outcomes research to help understand what works in school counseling and implementing the ASCA National Model.
