Experiential Learning and Internship for Undergraduates

"The chapters on grief and information on self-care really spoke to me and the work I do with counselors. I personally have experienced anticipatory grief, so it was helpful to have the awareness of it... Also, shared crisis along with collective trauma have provided me with more knowledge that will support my work as well."

--Adrienne Robinson, Ed.D., CRC, Senior Technical Assistance and Research Analyst at the George Washington University

"This book adds a much-needed resource for bachelor's-level students as they begin their human service field experiences. Useful, practical information is presented in a straightforward, clear, and easily applied manner, and exercises scattered throughout help students to apply the information to their practice settings. Highly recommended!"

--Linda R. Shaw, PhD, CRC, LPC, LMHC, Professor Emerita, University of Arizona

"In writing a textbook specifically aimed at supporting undergraduate students both before and during their internship, this text meets its aim on multiple fronts. This is a resource for undergraduate coursework, but likely to be used as a reference tool for internships, careers, or graduate studies. Because of this work's coverage of core competencies in the behavioral healthcare field, undergraduate students are likely to use this as a companion text for other coursework and potentially for other required undertakings such as navigating successful internships and preparing for exams. Undergraduate students in college- and university-based human services degree programs will undoubtedly benefit from this well-written, relevant, and comprehensive text and workbook."
