About this title

Synopsis:

THE SUCCESSFUL INTERNSHIP offers students more than just a resource on how to find a position or how to interview; it addresses the concerns, emotions, needs, and unique personal challenges that are the essence of an internship or field experience. The authors describe in detail the path of change students will find themselves embarking on and the challenges they will face along the way, and they provide clear, concrete tools that build the foundation for students' successful field/practicum experience. The book's five-stage model of the internship process-anticipation, disillusionment, confrontation, competence, and culmination-places the material in a meaningful framework that lends structure to students' understanding of the work they will be doing.

Review:

"The book leads the student through the internship experience in a thoughtful, academic and realistic manner." "This book has a strong emphasis on meaning making, understanding one's personal experiences in an internship setting and how those impact a new counselor personally and professionally" and "another strength of this book is its self-reflection emphasis, which allows students to process and articulate how the internship experience is impacting them and how they are impacting clients too. This book is practical and it is grounded on a theoretical framework."
