"Accessible and balanced, Careers in Mental Health introduces undergraduates and upper-level high school students to the different aspects of various mental health professions. It contains essential career advice for anyone considering an advanced degree in one of the "helping" professions within mental health. The book clarifies the distinctions between professions by discussing the history and philosophy of each field, requirements for advanced education, licensing, available jobs, and salary potential. The chapters cover clinical psychology, counseling psychology, social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, substance abuse counseling, and school psychology. A second section of the book includes practical information applicable to all the professions, including characteristics for success, ethical issues, the importance of critical thinking, applying to graduate school, and current issues affecting the field of mental health."--Back of book |
