Topics covered include mental health, students 'at risk', disability, reflective practice and many more. Each of the chapters have been peer-reviewed and the book will appeal to both British and international audiences. It is designed to be accessible to all who are interested in the career guidance sector, in all of its forms, and will be an essential addition to school, college and university libraries. The book will be of particular interest to career guidance practitioners and teachers in the public and private sectors, those studying for career education and guidance qualifications, researchers and academics within education, human resources management and social sciences in general, and the career guidance field in particular.
