Product Description
A core text/reference for Internships, Practicums, and Field Placements in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, and related helping disciplines.
Acknowledging, anticipating, and addressing the everyday questions and concerns of interns, this text is designed to bridge the gap between academic coursework and the knowledge, skills, and emotional challenges that are found beyond the classroom.
Throughout his years of teaching and professional experience, Brian N. Baird has found that both professionals and students in the helping professions consider internships, practicums, and field placements among the most influential experiences of their careers. With this in mind, however, too often students also report that their normal coursework typically provides only indirect, and in many cases insufficient, preparation for their first “real world” exposure. To help remedy this problem and further expose students to process of internship, this text is designed to acknowledge, anticipate, and address the everyday questions and concerns of interns, bridging the gap between academic coursework and the knowledge, skills, and emotional challenges that are found beyond the classroom.
