"The editors are to be commended for this book’s breadth, depth, and clarity. They engaged experts to freshly address critically important topics not only to the profession’s relevance in society today but to those whom we seek to serve. They enlighten and challenge readers using proven advocacy strategies for social justice while raising aspirations from merely fixing those in need to servant leadership in promoting wellness and human dignity across the life span. This is not a book to sell at the end of the term. It’s a keeper for beginners and seasoned professionals alike." — Thomas J. Sweeney, PhD, professor emeritus, The Ohio University, founding chair, CACREP, and past president, ACA, ACES, and CSI"As a leading resource on leadership and advocacy in the counseling profession, this second edition continues to be a textbook that offers insight into historical, current, and future implications for students, practitioners, and counselor educators. With exercises, activities, and discussion questions to use individually and with groups, the authors establish an impetus for leading and advocating for clients and for the profession as a central aspect of a counselor's professional identity." — Donna M. Gibson, PhD, LPC, NCC, professor and chair, Virginia Commonwealth University"This textbook is engaging, practical, and inspiring. The content provides readers with an in-depth discussion of leadership, professional advocacy, and client advocacy in a way that is relevant to counseling students and practitioners. As a counselor educator, I find this textbook to be an essential tool to address leadership and advocacy in the counseling curriculum." — Peggy L. Ceballos, PhD, associate professor, Department of Counseling and Higher Education, University of North Texas
