Most chapters include a section on civic development to help students understand the public relevance of their work.
Examples drawn from business, humanities, government, education, nonprofit agencies and other fields make the book appropriate for audiences beyond the helping professions, and provide flexibility for interns and instructors who use it.
"Of Special Relevance to the Helping Professions" sections in some chapters make it easy for interns in these professions to get the information they need; other readers may choose to skip these sections.
Student quotes and cases give the book an experiential, contextual feel.
