This comprehensive and current book addresses important topics such as reciprocity, CE credits required for renewal, and the jurisprudence exam.

Rehabilitation Counseling: An Empowerment Perspective, by Amos Sales.

The ACA notes: “Rehabilitation Counseling is an outstanding resource for practitioners, students, counselor educators, and human resource development staff seeking practical techniques to enhance counseling services for people with disabilities. The importance of a client-rehabilitation counselor partnership is stressed as a means toward direct efforts toward goals that the client sees as relevant and that promote his or her independence and self-advocacy skills. Beginning with a brief overview of the historical treatment of people with disabilities, Dr. Sales then examines the evolution of consumer activism and advocates for an empowerment model of rehabilitation counseling.”
