Description
Mastering the National Counselor Examination and the Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination
Mastering the National Counselor Examination and the Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination is a study guide for the NCE and CPCE, written by Bradley T. Erford, a past president of the American Counseling Association. It is organized around the eight core areas of counseling set out by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Counseling students and mental health professionals preparing for licensure use it to review before sitting either exam.
The eight core areas covered are human growth and development, social and cultural diversity, counseling and helping relationships, group counseling, career development, assessment, research and program evaluation, and professional orientation and ethical practice. The book pairs each area with diagnostic tests, practice questions and test-taking strategies.
Practice questions and test-taking strategies
Every chapter ends with multiple-choice questions, and full-length practice exams simulate the real testing environment. The strategies section covers how to work through complex multiple-choice questions, manage time and reduce test anxiety.
Ethics and professional standards
The text works in the current ACA Code of Ethics and the professional standards required for licensure, alongside the subject review for each CACREP core area.
