The Dictionary of Counseling and Human Services: An Essential Resource for Students and Professional Helpers equips readers with concise and straightforward definitions of nearly 3,000 concepts and terms used within the disciplines. Leveraging a unique coding system, each word or term is ranked according to its likelihood to appear on a credentialing exam in counseling and separately ranked according to its likelihood to appear on a credentialing exam in human services.
