Written for students in training and those new to the helping profession, Intentional Counseling: Practice Guided by Theory blends theory, practice, and guided personalized application to help readers move from simply gathering and receiving information to using information effectively to help their clients. The book discusses the importance of acquiring the necessary cognitive skills to "think like a counselor."
