Recenzje

"...this book provides a practical text and guide on emerging career counseling practices via the Net."
—Business Horizons

"Dr. Boer does not only present a framework for Internet based counseling but also demonstrates the proposed framework's utility and effectiveness, using actual cases from her own counseling experience. The book succeeds to both challenge the misconception that online career counseling is just answering e-mail messages and to demonstrate that specific skills are required for providing quality service."
—Itmar Gati, Ph.D.

"The topic of career counseling is very timely. Many chapters are relevant to the concerns of career professionals--the reference to the skills needed to handle career counseling online, the online resources available to assist clients in gathering information about a topic of career concern, and the discussion of ethical issues related to the use of this new communication tool."
—Roseann Sorenson
