Reviews the books, APA Handbook of Career Intervention : Volume 1: Foundations (see record 2014-08457-000) and APA Handbook of Career Intervention: Volume 2: Applications (see record 2014-08458-000), edited by Paul J. Hartung, Mark L. Savickas, and W. Bruce Walsh. The APA Handbook of Career Intervention provides a comprehensive overview of this important field in a clear and well organized two-volume set. These two volumes present a compendium of current thinking and approaches to the research, practice, and application of evidence-based career intervention. The editors intended these handbooks to provide the reader with the scientific foundations of this dynamic field where science informs practice and practical experience leads to new questions and innovations. In the reviewer's opinion, they have achieved this very important goal. The authors of the chapters represent knowledge and skilled professionals, well matched to their topics. The editors have done an outstanding job of making these chapters coalesce into a meaningful whole, rather than appearing as a disjointed set of interesting topics. A wide range of individuals could benefit from this handbook including anyone interested in understanding or working in the field of career development.
