Assessment in Counselling and Guidance, 2nd Edition

Assessment is an integral part of the counselling process in which the counsellor and client work together to gain a better understanding of the client’s problems. I believe that effectiveness and accuracy in assessment are essential to effective counselling. Throughout this textbook, my aim is to provide students with an overview of the many approaches to assessment so they can become competent and ethical practitioners in our multicultural society. This book is an introduction to the field of assessment in counselling and guidance. The aim of this book is to provide a framework for all the different aspects of the same that exist in contemporary society. The goals are to provide a foundation for the subject. The book is aimed primarily at those who are studying psychology either by regular or distance learning mode. Thus, this book is intended to help set a solid foundation for the student’s journey toward becoming a professional counsellor.

No background in the subject is necessary to understand the content of this book. Every effort has been made to offer a readable, user-friendly style by avoiding jargon and technical language wherever possible and focus has been on writing a clear, relevant, and interesting book on an exciting topic.
