Description
The second edition of this ultra-practical resource helps students and professionals in the human services fields be more focused and fulfilled in the work they do. Readers will learn how to approach their work more realistically and optimistically using self-analysis exercises on issues such as work-related values and conflicts, personal goals and limits, respect for consumers, and stress management. Illuminating these exercises are candid, insightful comments from experienced professionals, including those who work with people with disabilities, children who have been abused, people with substance addictions, people with chronic mental illnesses, and people at risk for HIV/AIDS. This book is an ideal preservice and in-service training text, as well as an excellent self-help resource for professionals in direct services, social work, counseling, speech-language pathology, special education, and any other human services profession.
