Showcasing a diversity of programs and services across institutional types, this book demonstrates how professionals can use psychosocial, social identity, and cognitive-structural development theory in their work, how assessment is conducted, and what is being learned about the complexities of applying human development theories in holistic ways.
"Those of us who teach theory lack books designed for the application of those theories. This book fills that void in that it provides a text focused on this application of theories and assessment of application effectiveness."- Tony W. Cawthon, Alumni Distinguished Professor of Leadership, Counselor Education, and Human Organization Development, Clemson University
"Many graduate students lack exposure to a diverse array of programs and application is frequently lacking in 'theory' textbooks ; I am pleased to see the emphasis on 'real life' examples in this book."- Suzanne Maniss, Program Director, Professional Counseling and Student Affairs in Higher Education, Stephen F. Austin State University
