<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><P> The first book for non-specialists on how to detect and respond to potentially psychotic individuals <P> High-profile incidents of violence perpetrated by individuals who were found to have profound mental illness but had no history of dangerous behaviors - the Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook shootings, for example - often lead to the question: "What could have been done to help this person and prevent their violent actions?" This concise, accessible guide for helping professionals not trained in psychiatric health is a quick reference for identifying and intervening with a person experiencing a first psychotic episode. It guides non-medical helping professionals in how to identify a possible psychotic episode, how to interact compassionately and effectively with the individual, and how to make appropriate referrals toward receiving proper treatment.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Note to Readers: </strong> Publisher does not guarantee quality or access to any included digital components if book is purchased through a third-party seller.</p><p><strong><em>Goes beyond traditional job hunt strategies to provide innovative solutions targeted to specific populations</em></strong></p><p>This graduate text for courses in career counseling is distinguished by its emphasis on creative interventions tailored to the unique needs of diverse populations. With a focus on career as a cornerstone of personal identity, the book explores the specific meaning of careers within different cultures and examines the challenges faced by--and potential solutions for--individuals with diverse backgrounds and needs. It describes unique interventions that allow counseling students to visualize and actualize career counseling with a wide range of clients and demonstrates techniques targeted to each population that can be put into practice immediately.</p><p>The text provides demographic information regarding specific job-seeking groups including such traditional populations as college graduates and working parents, as well as groups that encounter special challenges such as stay-at-home parents returning to work, formerly incarcerated individuals, people with disabilities, teen mothers, African American, Hispanic and Asian males and females, older adults, LGBT individuals, and many others. Over fifty creative, innovative interventions that have been successfully applied help counselors to provide effective career development strategies with each population. Chapters include a vignette representing each population, group demographics, a history of career paths and obstacles, unique needs of the group, supports already in place, and specific career counseling assessment and interventions. The book also provides abundant resources for additional study. In addition to its value to career counselors, the text will also be useful to personal counselors who often deal with their client's career issues during treatment.</p><ul><strong>Key Features: </strong><li>Provides in-depth exploration of underserved populations who hold unique career development needs</li><li>Includes innovative career counseling interventions that move beyond standard job hunt strategies or resume preparation tips</li><li>Explores life stage concerns related to career development across multiple diverse identities</li><li>Gives readers step-by-step details on implementing over 40 innovative career counseling techniques</li><li>Presents case studies that provide clear examples of the application of relevant interventions</li></ul>
