This book is not simply a book on counseling theory.
This is a warm and honest record of one counselor's struggles, learnings, and deep reflections encountered throughout his life's journey.
Gerald Corey shares his insights gleaned from decades of counseling and teaching experience, presented in vivid stories rather than complex jargon.
For those just beginning their journey as a counselor, this book will serve as a valuable guide.

The first chapter of the book talks about how to create your own path as a counselor.
The following chapters offer practical advice, drawing on the author's own career experiences and helping you understand mentoring, graduate school life, and the counseling profession itself.
This will be of real help to many readers who are concerned about the growth of their counselors.

Above all, this book encourages counselors to deeply reflect on themselves.
The importance of counselors' identity and self-understanding, the benefits of individual therapy, and self-management and well-being remind us again why counselors must live honestly caring for their inner selves.
The author's experiences and confessions contained throughout the text resonate deeply with readers.

The second half of the book covers a variety of topics related to counseling practice.
How to internalize theory, the practice of group counseling, the path to becoming an ethical counselor, issues of boundaries and values, cultural sensitivity, self-disclosure, mistakes and learning, dealing with difficult clients, supervision and internships, and even writing as a counselor.
No topic is dealt with in a fragmented manner, but is approached honestly and realistically.
The "Questions for Reflection" presented at the end of each chapter encourage readers to reflect on their own lives and engage in deep inner dialogue.

This book is not just for those who majored in counseling.
It can serve as a warm guide to all assistants who care for the human mind, and to those who are currently contemplating this path.
