It quickly outlines each field�s philosophical origins, educational requirements, and opportunities for licensure, typical work settings, and average salaries by people in the field.It is too narrow for a careers course, but since it solely focuses on the mental health professions that require graduate school and culminate in licensure or certification, it could be a good supplementary text for either that course or an Introduction to Counseling course.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCareers in Mental Health could also be a good resource for faculty advising students about graduate school but confused by the variety of apparently similar professions out there�clinical, counseling, and school psychology; guidance counseling; social work; and licensed professional counseling. I am a clinical psychologist, have worked in the field for 25 years, and have advised students about these fields for most of that time, yet as a result of reading this book, I better understand issues I�ve talked about and taught for years. For example, why do these similar fields go by different names? Metz argues that this is at least in part because these are homologous fields, appearing similar but having different philosophical roots...\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMuch of the information in Careers in Mental Health is available on the Internet, but Metz provides it in a simple and available manner that allows students�and faculty�to compare apples with apples.
