- In COUNSELING IN CHALLENGING CONTEXTS, Michael Ungar integrates the best of what we know about individual and family counseling when working in clinical, community, and residential settings. Using a social ecological model of practice, this text shows through detailed case illustrations the practical application of strengths-based interventions that are sensitive to people's cultural and contextual differences. Two concepts, Navigation and Negotiation, organize the theory and its application to counseling practice with people of all ages who face complex challenges. A DVD with four demonstration videos, available for packaging with the text, shows how to put theory into practice (To see a sample of the videos, and to hear Dr. Ungar discuss the book, go to www.youtube.com and search: Counseling in Challenging Contexts).
- Each chapter includes narrative case vignettes, as well as actual dialogue from practice with diverse individuals and families challenged by a number of risk factors. These vignettes include enough detail and commentary to show students how to apply principles to practice.
- Video vignettes, filmed with the author and in conjunction with the Nova Scotia Health Research Fund, provide students with a view into the practice of counseling that they cannot get from a text alone. The clips reside on a DVD, which you can package with student copies of the text; check the Supplements tab for ordering information.
- Research boxes in each chapter highlight studies of interest to students.
- Reflection and practice exercises help instructors develop classroom exercises and assist students with self-study.
- Case documents (such as process recordings, assessment tools, and intake forms) familiarize students with real-world processes and paperwork.
