Professional Identity: Predictors, Influences and Impacts provides a foundation in theoretical and conceptual frameworks. The eleven chapters explore the complexities of constructing and shaping professional identity, its connections to identity, and how identity construction and self-understanding are intertwined in the formation of professional identities. Chapter 1 addresses what and how identity is shaped. Chapter 2 highlights the identity development of prospective teachers. Similarly, Chapter 3 deepens the pre-service context with cross-cultural comparison. Chapter 4 understands the processes of in-service teaching in the context of the motivation-identity relationship. Chapter 5 emphasizes the context of leadership, awareness, and identity development. Chapter 6 provides a field-based, theoretical, and contextual model of teacher identity. Chapter 7 provides a field-based and motivation theory-informed study on professional identity. Chapter 8 presents a general framework for professional identity and the relationships among variables. Chapter 9 discusses identity in a field-specific and cultural context. Chapter 10 represents identity development in a profession outside the field of education. The final chapter, Chapter 11, examines how counselor education programs prepare candidates to design and implement comprehensive, student-centered counseling programs. This book focuses on how each core domain contributes to the development of a counselor’s professional identity and enhances their effectiveness in promoting student success.
