IT IS FANTASTIC! Not only has it significantly impacted the way in which we, as a class, view the content of education but the process as well. Kudos to Drs. Eriksen and McAuliffe for such great work!" -- Joel Filmore, MA, LPC "The best book ever written on counselor education pedagogy: McAuliffe & Erikson, Handbook of Counselor Preparation.There is a chapter on teaching counseling theories, but the whole book is outstanding. I now view my career as a counselor educator in terms of before and after having read/taught the Handbook of Counselor Preparation: Constructivist, Developmental, and Experiential Approaches." -- Scott A.
