Recensioner
“Dr. Amundson is arguably our most creative thinker regarding career interventions today. This anniversary edition of Active Engagement reflects this creativity and provides us with exactly the sort of innovative strategies needed to address today’s career challenges.”
Spencer Niles, Professor and Dean , School of Education, The College of William and Mary
“Active Engagement challenges traditional career counselling practice. It offers fresh insights and diverse, dynamic and ‘unconventional’ approaches. This is a truly innovative book; it is energizing, it is freeing and moves us outside the ‘box’ of traditional practice.”
Lynne Bezanson, Executive Director Emeritus, Canadian Career Development Foundation
“Dr. Amundson has provided career counsellors with a down-to-earth and practical handbook, based on firm theoretical ground. The active use of creativity, metaphors and even poems runs through this book. Active Engagement captures the spirit, the inner light of counselling, without leaving the practitioner in the dark.”
Peter Plant, Professor, University of South-East Norway
