This study guide is organized into nine chapters, with the first eight chapters coinciding with the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) core content areas:  \nChapter 1: Professional Orientation and Ethical Practice  \nChapter 2: Social and Cultural Diversity  \nChapter 3: Human Growth and Development  \nChapter 4: Lifestyle and Career Development  \nChapter 5: Helping Relationships  \nChapter 6: Group Work  \nChapter 7: Assessment  \nChapter 8: Research and Program Evaluation  \nEach chapter is made up of sections addressing major topics within its CACREP core content area. Each section has five self-administered, multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge of the presented material and allow you to maximize your learning while making the reviewing of course material more manageable. This study guide also contains a glossary of key terms and several full-length practice tests to help you retain this information. Finally, the content of a new Chapter 9: From Envisioning to Actualization: Marketing Yourself in the 21st Century, is about you: what you need to know about getting a job and marketing yourself as a professional counselor as you make the transition from student to practitioner.  \nNEW TO THIS EDITION  \nThis edition features several important additions and content revisions:  \n• A new chapter, From Envisioning to Actualization: Marketing Yourself in the 21st Century, addresses transitioning from student to professional counselor.  \n• Voices from the Field entries and self-assessment activities are provided in the final chapter to give on-theground perspectives from practicing counselors and counselors in training.  \n• Citations have been replaced and updated across all chapters to give the most recent scholarly information (28% of references from 2010 and beyond; 52% of references from 2000 and beyond), while maintaining the focus on classic citations underscoring the rich history of counseling theory and research.  \n• New test preparation items have been included comprising two full-length sample NCE administrations and two full-length CPCE administrations.  \n• The glossary of key terms has been updated to facilitate vocabulary review as an additional study aid.  \n• Revised and updated content has been provided to better align with the 2009 CACREP standards, current NCE/ CPCE content, and expected changes in the 2016 CACREP content standards.  \nBefore delving into each of the CACREP core content areas, it is important to present some introductory information about the NCE and CPCE and some test-preparation and testtaking strategies for mastering the NCE and CPCE.  \nABOUT THE NATIONAL COUNSELOR EXAMINATION (NCE)  \nTo obtain certification from the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), professional counselors must first pass the National Counselor Examination for Licensure and Certification (NCE), which NBCC creates and administers. Counselors who pass the exam and meet NBCC’s standards of education and training are entitled to receive NBCC’s general practitioner credential, the National Certified Counselor (NCC) credential. Although taking and passing the NCE is voluntary, many states require the NCE for their own licensure and credentialing purposes. One of the primary benefits of taking the NCE and working toward the NCC is that the credential is nationally recognized and strengthens the credential holder’s professional reputation (NBCC, 2014b) .  \nThe NCE is a paper-and-pencil multiple-choice test.
