Preparing for Your Licensing Exam: NCE and NCMHCE well prepares future counselors to sit for their National Counselors Examination and National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination. The book not only helps readers cultivate physical and mental states optimal for testing, it also reviews core concepts and competencies that are likely to appear on the exams.
The opening chapter provides readers with a set of strategies and techniques to help them review all they have learned and also facilitate the ability to retrieve that information during testing. The following chapters address key topics within the profession, including professional orientation and ethics, lifespan development, social and cultural diversity, career development theory and practice, theories and techniques, group work and group counseling, assessment, research and program evaluation, and professional development, identity, and supervision. Each chapter features an introduction that identifies competencies assigned by CACREP, NBCC, and NCMHCE and related to the specific content area; descriptions of key theories, concepts, and constructs; sample test questions for self-assessment; and additional resources for further review. All chapters and testing materials included in this text have been prepared by university faculty who specialize in the topics covered in their chapter.
Preparing for Your Licensing Exam is an essential resource for any future counselor preparing to take the NCE or NCMHCE.
