Counseling psychology is a psychological specialty that began with a focus on vocational counseling, but later moved its emphasis to adjustment counseling, and then expanded to cover all normal psychology and psychotherapy. There are many subcategories for counseling psychology, such as marriage and family counseling, rehabilitation counseling, clinical mental health counseling, educational counseling, etc. In each setting, they are all required to follow the same guidelines.

The Society for Counseling Psychology in the United States says:
Counseling Psychology is a generalist health service (HSP) specialty in professional psychology that uses a broad range of culturally informed and culturally sensitive practices to help people improve their well-being, prevent and alleviate distress and maladjustment, resolve crises, and increase their ability to function better in their lives. It focuses specifically but not exclusively on normative life-span development, with a particular emphasis on prevention and education as well as amelioration, addressing individuals as well as the systems or contexts in which they function. It has particular expertise in work and career issues.
History
Before the end of World War II
Before World War II, qualified psychologists typically pursued science, rather than the direct treatment of patients. This task was the domain of psychiatrists who had both a medical degree and psychological training.
In 1896, the first psychological patient clinic was opened at the University of Pennsylvania by psychologist Lightner Witmer. He coined the term clinical psychology to describe his work. In the first half of the 20th century, clinical psychology focused on children's psychological assessment, with little attention given to treatment or adults.
The Vocation Bureau was established in Boston in 1908 by Frank Parsons. Parsons coined the term vocational guidance that year, and the Bureau soon became the concept's national body. The Bureau supported the work of vocational counselors, and successfully advocated for a large number of them to be appointed by Boston schools. Parson's influential book Choosing a Vocation was published in 1909. The Boston YMCA offered the first vocational guidance training.
Building on the work of the Bureau, the National Vocational Guidance Association (NVGA) was founded in 1913.
The National Social Workers' Exchange began in 1917, and in 1921 expanded its scope and became the American Association of Social Workers.
Abraham and Hannah Stone began a marriage consultation centre in New York in 1929. The American Institute for Family Relations (AIFR) was established by Paul Popenoe in Los Angeles in 1930. Emily Mudd founded the Marriage Council of Philadelphia in 1932. This kind of organisation was first found in Germany, and had grown through parts of Europe.
During World War II, the term counseling was used by American psychologist Carl Rogers to describe therapy provided by psychologists. In 1942, Rogers published the book Counseling and Psychotherapy. In that book's introduction he said the terms "counselling" and "psychotherapy" were equivalents, the main difference being that different professions tended to use one term or the other. He noted that people who did this work might call themselves "a psychologist, a college counselor, a marital adviser, a psychiatrist, a social worker, a high-school guidance counselor, an industrial personnel worker, or [use] some other name."
1942 also saw the establishment of the American Association of Marriage Counselors (AAMC). The Stones and Mudd took part in this.
A great adjustment
The end of World War II in 1945 saw many combatants return home. Over 3.2 million American veterans applied for training under the GI Bill, creating a strong need for vocational and personal adjustment counseling at the US Veterans Administration (VA). That year, Rogers was invited to set up a counseling center at the University of Chicago.
It was also at this time that clinical psychologists began offering therapy to adults in large numbers, with many employed by the VA.
The end of the war also saw the American Psychological Association establish Divisions, providing interest groups for its members to join. Divisions 11 and 12 of were formed in 1945, with the two merging in 1946 to become the "Division of Clinical and Abnormal Psychology" (as Division 12).
Division 17 of the APA was formed in 1946 as the "Division of Personnel and Guidance Psychologists".
Also in 1946, Connecticut became the first US state to require psychologists to be licensed. The last to do so was Missouri in 1977.
In 1947, Rogers was elected president of the APA.
The Marriage Council of Philadelphia started the first US marriage counsellor training program in 1948, training Navy chaplains.
It was suggested that "personal adjustment counseling is actually a psychotherapeutic supplement to vocational counseling for problems not serious enough to require psychiatric treatments," in 1949.
More than 500 people had joined Division 17 in 1949. Around half of these provided guidance (or supervised it) in an educational setting. Approximately 20% guided people in the VA. 40% of Division 17 members were also members of the NVGA.
Counseling psychology and other counseling
In 1951, the APA's Division 17 became the "Division for Counseling Psychology". This body united psychologists, students and professionals who were dedicated to promote education and training, practice, scientific investigation, diversity and public interest in the field of counseling psychology. (It would later become known as the "Society for Counseling Psychology").
In 1952 the American Personnel and Guidance Association (APGA) was founded, merging the NVGA, the National Association of Guidance and Counselor Trainers (NAGCT), the Student Personnel Association for Teacher Education (SPATE), and the American College Personnel Association (ACPA).
Starting in the early 1950s, the first counseling psychology PhD programs were at the University of Minnesota; Ohio State University; University of Maryland, College Park; University of Missouri; Teachers College, Columbia University; and University of Texas at Austin.
At times, counseling psychologists with qualifications from university education departments had difficulty being registered as psychologists by US states, due to difficulty proving that their study was sufficiently psychological in nature.
In 1955, the National Association of Social Workers was established through the consolidation of seven groups including the American Association of Social Workers and the National Association of School Social Workers.
In 1960, the AIFR in Los Angeles was described "the world's largest and best known marriage-counseling center," with a staff of seventy. By that year, the institute had given training to over 300 marriage counselors and shorter courses around the US to over 1500 other people.
The US National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) began in 1969.
The AAMC became the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) in 1974.
In 1976, the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) was founded to represent mental health counselors who did not qualify for APA membership, and didn't fit in the college counseling focused APGA. The AMHCA became a part of the latter in 1978.
Individual US states began to license counselors in the 1970s. In 1981, the APGA established The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs to standardise counseling education. In 1982, the APGA established an independent body, the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), to provide a national certification system for counselors who were not qualified psychologists.
The APGA changed its name in 1983 to the "American Association of Counseling and Development" (AACD), and then in 1992 to the "American Counseling Association" (ACA). (Also in 1992, the ACPA left the organisation.)
The AIFR ceased operating in the 1980s.
A 1986 study found that of APA Division 17 members, 80% did personal adjustment counseling, 71% did vocational counseling, 69% did long-term psychotherapy and 58% did family counseling. It found that "there appear to be few, if any, empirical bases on which to distinguish counseling psychologists from their colleagues in clinical psychology."
In the late 1980s and 1990s, US states increasingly required the licensing of family councilors. The Association of Marital & Family Therapy Regulatory Boards was established to allow for nationally harmonised accreditation.
The ACA defined "counseling" in 2010 as "a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals."
In 2019, the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) separated from the ACA.
As much as their practitioners did many of the same things, clinical psychology came to focus on treating abnormal psychology issues, while counseling psychology came to focus on addressing normal psychology matters.
Counseling, as overseen by the ACA and AMHCA, came to include all the subject areas listed by Rogers in 1942 that didn't require its practitioners to have psychology or psychiatry qualifications, including those that use "some other name". However, while it had Divisions for family counseling and social work, other bodies would have many more members from those fields.
Many US states now require people describing themselves as counselors to be licensed by the NBCC, such counselors becoming a National Certified Counselor.
Books describing the present international state of the field include the Handbook of Counseling and Psychotherapy in an International Context; the International Handbook of Cross-Cultural Counseling; and Counseling Around the World: An International Handbook. Taken together these volumes trace the global history of the field, explore divergent philosophical assumptions, counseling theories, processes, and trends in different countries, and review a variety of global counselor education programs. Moreover, traditional and indigenous treatment and healing methods that may predate modern counseling methods by hundreds of years remain of significance in many non-Western and Western countries.
Educational Requirements
To be a counseling psychologist in the United States, it is first necessary to obtain a Bachelor's degree in psychology, sociology, anthropology, or a different degree within the realm of human services, from a four-year university. After acquiring a Bachelor’s, obtaining a Master's degree is the next requirement. While prerequisites for a Master's degree vary from program to program, a person can become a counselor after receiving their Master’s. Although, it is possible to obtain a Master’s and Doctorate degree simultaneously if the program you are enrolled in has that option. In the field of psychology, a doctorate degree is another term for PhD or PsyD. A PsyD is a Doctor of Psychology degree where the training emphasizes clinical practice, while a PhD is a Doctor of Philosophy degree that emphasizes clinical science and research. It is necessary to attend an accredited program to receive a Doctorate. An accredited program means that it is approved by the APA. The APA in the United States ensures that the program has defined training goals that follow the professional and scientific guidelines required for a successful, ethical, and skillful psychology program.
Salary
In 2022, the median salary for counseling psychologists in the United States was $86,938 to $90,130. According to O*NET, the estimated hourly wage is $43.33. The expected growth rate is projected to be faster than average between the years of 2021 to 2031. There are assumed to be over 5000 job openings during then.
Variables in the Counseling Process
Counseling psychologists are interested in answering a variety of research questions about counseling process and outcome. Counseling process refers to how or why counseling happens and progresses. Currently, it is becoming more common for one to be concerned with their emotions and motivations, as well as learning how to control and manage their unwanted habits or emotions. Counseling psychology is sometimes used in order to achieve this. Counseling outcome addresses whether or not counseling is effective, under what conditions it is effective, and what outcomes are considered effective—such as symptom reduction, behavior change, or quality of life improvement. Topics commonly explored in the study of counseling process and outcome include therapist variables, client variables, the counseling or therapeutic relationship, cultural variables, process and outcome measurement, mechanisms of change, and process and outcome research methods. Classic approaches appeared early in the US in the field of humanistic psychology by Carl Rogers who identified the mission of counseling interview as "to permit deeper expression that the client would ordinarily allow himself"
Therapist variables
Therapist variables include characteristics of a counselor or psychotherapist, as well as therapist technique, behavior, theoretical orientation and training. In terms of therapist behavior, technique and theoretical orientation, research on adherence to therapy models has found that adherence to a particular model of therapy can be helpful, detrimental, or neutral in terms of impact on outcome.
A recent meta-analysis of research on training and experience suggests that experience level is only slightly related to accuracy in clinical judgment. Higher therapist experience has been found to be related to less anxiety, but also less focus. This suggests that there is still work to be done in terms of training clinicians and measuring successful training.
Client variables
Client characteristics such as help-seeking attitudes and attachment style have been found to be related to client use of counseling, as well as expectations and outcome. Stigma against mental illness can keep people from acknowledging problems and seeking help. Public stigma has been found to be related to self-stigma, attitudes towards counseling, and willingness to seek help.
In terms of attachment style, clients with avoidance styles have been found to perceive greater risks and fewer benefits to counseling, and are less likely to seek professional help, than securely attached clients. Those with anxious attachment styles perceive greater benefits, as well as risks, to counseling. Educating clients about expectations of counseling can improve client satisfaction, treatment duration and outcomes, and is an efficient and cost-effective intervention.
Counseling relationship
The relationship between a counselor and a client consists in the feelings and attitudes that a client and therapist have towards one another and the manner in which those feelings and attitudes are expressed. Some theorists have suggested that the relationship may be thought of in three parts: transference and countertransference, working alliance, and the real—or personal—relationship. Other theorists argue that the concepts of transference and countertransference are outdated and inadequate.
Transference can be described as the client's distorted perceptions of the therapist. This can have a great effect on the therapeutic relationship. For instance, the therapist may have a facial feature that reminds the client of their parent. Because of this association, if the client has significant negative or positive feelings toward their parent, they may project these feelings onto the therapist. This can affect the therapeutic relationship in a few ways. For example, if the client has a very strong bond with their parent, they may see the therapist as a father or mother figure and have a strong connection with the therapist. This can be problematic because as a therapist, it is not ethical to have a more than "professional" relationship with a client. It can also be a good thing, because the client may open up greatly to the therapist. In another way, if the client has a very negative relationship with their parent, the client may feel negative feelings toward the therapist. This can then affect the therapeutic relationship as well. For example, the client may have trouble opening up to the therapist because he or she lacks trust in their parent (projecting these feelings of distrust onto the therapist).
Another theory about the function of the counseling relationship is known as the secure-base hypothesis, which is related to attachment theory. This hypothesis proposes that the counselor acts as a secure base from which clients can explore and then check in with. Secure attachment to one's counselor and secure attachment in general have been found to be related to client exploration. Insecure attachment styles have been found to be related to less session depth than securely attached clients.
Cultural variables
Counseling psychologists are interested in how culture relates to help-seeking and counseling process and outcome. Standard surveys exploring the nature of counselling across cultures and various ethnic groups include Counseling Across Cultures by Paul B. Pedersen, Juris G. Draguns, Walter J. Lonner and Joseph E. Trimble, Handbook of Multicultural Counseling by Joseph G. Ponterotto, J. Manueal Casas, Lisa A. Suzuki and Charlene M. Alexander and Handbook of Culture, Therapy, and Healing by Uwe P. Gielen, Jefferson M. Fish and Juris G. Draguns.Janet E. Helms' racial identity model can be useful for understanding how the relationship and counseling process might be affected by the client's and counselor's racial identity. Recent research suggests that clients who are Black are at risk for experiencing racial micro-aggression from counselors who are White.
Efficacy for working with clients who are lesbians, gay men, or bisexual might be related to therapist demographics, gender, sexual identity development, sexual orientation, and professional experience. Clients who have multiple oppressed identities might be especially at-risk for experiencing unhelpful situations with counselors, so counselors might need help with gaining expertise for working with clients who are transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people of color, and other oppressed populations.
Gender role socialization can also present issues for clients and counselors. Implications for practice include being aware of stereotypes and biases about male and female identity, roles and behavior such as emotional expression. The APA guidelines for multicultural competence outline expectations for taking culture into account in practice and research.
Counseling ethics and regulation
Perceptions on ethical behaviors vary depending upon geographical location, but ethical mandates are similar throughout the global community. Ethical standards are created to help practitioners, clients and the community avoid any possible harm or potential for harm. The standard ethical behaviors are centered on "doing no harm" and preventing harm. An excellent guideline to follow is the Ethics Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. This code lists out the expectations psychologists must meet and thoroughly clarifies portions of the code. Some examples from the code would be respecting clients' rights, ensuring proper professional competence, ensuring the client's welfare, and giving informed consent to name a few items from the code. Several states require counselors to follow a specific Code of Ethics which was revised and updated in 2014. Failure to follow this code can lead to license revocation or more severe consequences. One of the major reason for the Code of Conduct is to better protect and serve the client and the counselor.
Counselors must review with their clients verbally and in writing the responsibilities and rights that the counselor and client have.
Counselors must share their techniques with the client. This should include their goals for the client in their sessions, and breaking down the procedures of each session. It is required for any counselor to discuss their qualifications and credentials in order to establish trust in the relationship. There should be a breakdown of what to expect during each session and the provider should address any concerns or misgivings a patient might share about their choice to seek counseling.
Counselors cannot share any confidential information that is obtained through the counseling process without specific written consent by the client or legal guardian except to prevent clear, imminent danger to the client or others, or when required to do so by a court order. Insurance companies or government programs will also be notified of certain information about your diagnosis and treatment to determine if your care is covered. Those companies and government programs are bound by HIPAA to keep that information strictly confidential.
Counselors are held to a higher standard than most professionals because of the intimacy of their therapeutic delivery. Counselors are not only to avoid fraternizing with their clients. They should avoid dual relationships, and never engage in sexual relationships. While explicit/detrimental relationships must be avoided, the counselor should understand what is currently going on and how their patient is reacting. While explicit/detrimental relationships must be avoided, the counselor should understand what is currently going on and how their patient reacts to the counseling sessions. Counselors are also prohibited from counseling their friends and family members to ensure they remain objective. They are also prohibited from engaging in an online relationship, such as a relationship over social media with a client.
The National Board for Certified Counselors states that counselors "shall discuss important considerations to avoid exploitation before entering into a non-counseling relationship with a former client. Important considerations to be discussed include amount of time since counseling service termination, duration of counseling, nature and circumstances of client's counseling, the likelihood that the client will want to resume counseling at some time in the future; circumstances of service termination and possible negative effects or outcomes."
Counselors walk a fine line in regards to gifts. Counselors are generally discouraged from accepting gifts, favors, or trade for therapy. While the idea of a gift seems innocent to others, it can have long-lasting consequences for a counselor. In some communities, it may be avoidable given the economic standing of that community. However, individuals may feel personally rejected. In some cases if an offering is something such as a "cookie" or some form of small token gesture like a drawing from a child, it may be acceptable to receive the gesture. As counselors, a judgment call must be made, but in most cases, avoiding gifts, favors, and trade can be maintained.
There are specific examinations all counselors must pass to practice their craft successfully. These examinations are the National Counselor Examination (NCE), National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Examination (NCMHCE), Certified Rehabilitation Counselor Examination (CRCE), Examination of Clinical Counselor Practice (ECCP). Of the exams listed, certain ones must be passed in certain specialties; however, the most common exam utilized is the NCE.
Training and supervision
Professional training process
Counseling psychologists are trained in graduate programs. Almost all programs grant a PhD, but a few grant a Psy.D. or Ed.D. Most doctoral programs take 5–6 years to complete. Graduate work in counseling psychology includes coursework in general psychology and statistics, counseling practice, and research. Students must complete an original dissertation at the end of their graduate training. Students must also complete a one-year full-time internship at an accredited site before earning their doctorate. In order to be licensed to practice, counseling psychologists must gain clinical experience under supervision, and pass a standardized exam.
Training models and research
Counseling psychology includes the study and practice of counselor training and counselor supervision. As researchers, counseling psychologists may investigate what makes training and supervision effective. As practitioners, counseling psychologists may supervise and train a variety of clinicians. Counselor training tends to occur in formal classes and training programs. Part of counselor training may involve counseling clients under the supervision of a licensed clinician. Supervision can also occur between licensed clinicians, as a way to improve clinicians' quality of work and competence with various types of counseling clients.
As the field of counseling psychology formed in the mid-20th century, initial training models included Robert Carkuff's human relations training model, Norman Kagan's Interpersonal Process Recall, and Allen Ivey's microcounseling skills. Modern training models include Gerard Egan's skilled helper model, and Clara E. Hill's three-stage model (exploration, insight, and action). A recent analysis of studies on counselor training found that modeling, instruction, and feedback are common to most training models, and seem to have medium to large effects on trainees.
Supervision models and research
Like the models of how clients and therapists interact, there are also models of the interactions between therapists and their supervisors. Edward S. Bordin proposed a model of supervision working alliance similar to his model of therapeutic working alliance. The Integrated Development Model considers the level of a client's motivation/anxiety, autonomy, and self and other awareness. The Systems Approach to Supervision views the relationship between supervisor and supervised as most important, in addition to characteristics of the supervisor's personal characteristics, counseling clients, training setting, as well as the tasks and functions of supervision. The Critical Events in Supervision model focuses on important moments that occur between the supervisor and supervised.
Problems can arise in supervision and training. Questions have arisen as far as a supervisor's need for formal training to be a competent supervisor. Recent research suggests that conflicting, multiple relationships can occur between supervisors and clients, such as that of the client, instructor, and clinical supervisor. The occurrence of racial micro-aggression against Black clients suggests potential problems with racial bias in supervision. In general, conflicts between a counselor and his or her own supervisor can arise when supervisors demonstrate disrespect, lack of support, and blaming.
Categories of counseling
Career counseling

The goal of career counseling is to help provide guidance during all stages of a person's career trajectory. Career Counseling looks to help an individual understand themselves and the ongoing world around them so they may make an informed decision regarding their life and career. Career counselors provide a wide array of services, such as attempting to help individuals discover themselves. Counselors also attempt to help others discover their actual goals or achievements they may want to complete in life regarding education, career, or their life in general. While also helping individuals figure out what they may want to become, career counselors also help find resources and information that may be of use to people in achieving their future goals. Career counselors will create a roadmap of sorts to help individuals visualize where they are along in their journey of achieving their dreams. One factor that counselors deal with is people tend to think unemployment can be permanent; however, counselors must make sure that unemployment is only temporary and their status will eventually change. So counselors must do their best to give positive reinforcement to focus more on finding their path in life. Career counseling may include provision of occupational information, modeling skills, written exercises, and exploration of career goals and plans. Career counseling can also involve the use of personality or career interest assessments, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which is based on Carl Jung's theory of psychological type, or the Strong Interest Inventory, which makes use of Holland's theory. Assessments of skills, abilities, and values are also commonly assessed in career counseling. Career counselors have the flexibility to decide whether to conduct sessions using a group setting or single face-to-face in person or online setting. Currently, there is no internationally accepted standard to become a qualified career counselor; qualifications and certification will vary depending on local, state, and internal regulations.
Marriage and family counseling
The purpose of marriage and family counseling is to explore the relationships and interactions in the family and discuss the positive actions already taken, and how to change the negative actions in order to bring productive change to the family. Marriage and family counseling allows the family to discover how they can work together to make the household functional and find solutions, when necessary.
Rehabilitation counseling
The purpose of rehabilitation counseling is to work alongside people with disabilities in order to achieve their academic, career, or personal goals. In rehabilitation counseling, a counselor works closely with the client to address their goals, and come up with a plan to achieve those goals.
Clinical mental health counseling
Clinical mental health counseling is addressing a variety of issues such as addiction, family and relationship issues, abuse, and stress. Clinical mental health counseling provides guidance on how to handle and cope with these life struggles. They help make any adjustments in order to improve the quality of life for each client.
Educational counseling
The purpose of educational counseling is to work with students in elementary, junior high, and high school to discuss future education goals. For elementary and junior high, educational counselors are there to provide support and work alongside teachers and parents in order to avert negative actions and replace them with positive. In high school, an educational counselor is mainly there to help guide students to success after graduation.
Effects of COVID in relation to counseling
The ongoing pandemic has caused career counselors to adjust many of their current plans with their clients. While also helping to improve their abilities by facing new and different situations. The pandemic, in the beginning, caused a significant job layoff, which messed up a lot of people's career plans. Towards the beginning of 2020, employment lost around 22.4 million individuals, a downturn of around 15%. Another critical factor regarding the pandemic is that many schools shut down for a while, negatively impacting students. One such scenario is students looking for specific programs to start their masters may not have been able to with the educational shut down, which could have negatively impacted their future career path. After education started to come back online, counselors soon ran into an issue. They had to become more tech-savvy and understand how to work digitally significantly faster to help clients since the shift to an online platform. While moving to a more online counseling presence can be tricky, it will lead to more positives overall. One major positive being the flexibility with obtaining the counseling has become significantly better. However, while moving a portion to online telehealth, there are still cases that are better suited to in-person like addictions. There was an almost doubling of referrals regarding seeing a psychologist around 2020, 62%. When looking at psychologists, 7 out of 10 had their waitlist grow more extended, about 68%. Another factor to consider is the effect Covid has played on the counselor's health. Seeing how the pandemic has affected their patients why could it not affect the counselors if not be more sever, since they are dedicating more time to helping others instead of themselves. It has been noted that Counselors could be feeling overwhelmed, which can lead to many negative consequences. Hopefully, through research and information based upon prior crises, they can stay informed to take better care of themselves while helping others.
Professional journals
In the United States, the scholarly journals of the profession are the Journal of Counseling Psychology and The Counseling Psychologist. The Journal of Counseling Psychology publishes articles with, “theoretical, empirical, and methodological articles on multicultural aspects of counseling.” It also focuses on assessment, intervention, consultations, and educational requirements. It also reviews manuscripts of clients that are having problems with housing, developmental issues, and who may or may not be severely disturbed. The Journal of Counseling Psychology focuses on manuscripts that focus on emphasizing development and benefiting the well-being of people. The Counseling Psychologist is the official Publication of the Society of Counseling Psychology. It is also one of the first journals from the field. It publishes articles scholarly articles that are important for counseling psychologists because they are responsible for expanding the knowledge of counseling psychologists through debates and areas that are currently being developed, as well as new practices.
These articles are different throughout the world. In Australia, counseling psychology articles are published in the counseling psychology section of the Australian Psychologist. In Europe, the scholarly journals of the profession include the European Journal of Counselling Psychology (under the auspices of the European Association of Counselling Psychology) and the Counselling Psychology Review (under the auspices of the British Psychological Society). Counselling Psychology Quarterly is an international interdisciplinary publication of Routledge (part of the Taylor & Francis Group).

Counseling psychology is a psychological specialty that began with a focus on vocational counseling but later moved its emphasis to adjustment counseling and then expanded to cover all normal psychology and psychotherapy There are many subcategories for counseling psychology such as marriage and family counseling rehabilitation counseling clinical mental health counseling educational counseling etc In each setting they are all required to follow the same guidelines Counseling psychologyICD 10 PCSGZ6ICD 9 CM94 45 94 49MeSHD003376 edit on Wikidata The Society for Counseling Psychology in the United States says Counseling Psychology is a generalist health service HSP specialty in professional psychology that uses a broad range of culturally informed and culturally sensitive practices to help people improve their well being prevent and alleviate distress and maladjustment resolve crises and increase their ability to function better in their lives It focuses specifically but not exclusively on normative life span development with a particular emphasis on prevention and education as well as amelioration addressing individuals as well as the systems or contexts in which they function It has particular expertise in work and career issues HistoryBefore the end of World War II Before World War II qualified psychologists typically pursued science rather than the direct treatment of patients This task was the domain of psychiatrists who had both a medical degree and psychological training In 1896 the first psychological patient clinic was opened at the University of Pennsylvania by psychologist Lightner Witmer He coined the term clinical psychology to describe his work In the first half of the 20th century clinical psychology focused on children s psychological assessment with little attention given to treatment or adults The Vocation Bureau was established in Boston in 1908 by Frank Parsons Parsons coined the term vocational guidance that year and the Bureau soon became the concept s national body The Bureau supported the work of vocational counselors and successfully advocated for a large number of them to be appointed by Boston schools Parson s influential book Choosing a Vocation was published in 1909 The Boston YMCA offered the first vocational guidance training Building on the work of the Bureau the National Vocational Guidance Association NVGA was founded in 1913 The National Social Workers Exchange began in 1917 and in 1921 expanded its scope and became the American Association of Social Workers Abraham and Hannah Stone began a marriage consultation centre in New York in 1929 The American Institute for Family Relations AIFR was established by Paul Popenoe in Los Angeles in 1930 Emily Mudd founded the Marriage Council of Philadelphia in 1932 This kind of organisation was first found in Germany and had grown through parts of Europe During World War II the term counseling was used by American psychologist Carl Rogers to describe therapy provided by psychologists In 1942 Rogers published the book Counseling and Psychotherapy In that book s introduction he said the terms counselling and psychotherapy were equivalents the main difference being that different professions tended to use one term or the other He noted that people who did this work might call themselves a psychologist a college counselor a marital adviser a psychiatrist a social worker a high school guidance counselor an industrial personnel worker or use some other name 1942 also saw the establishment of the American Association of Marriage Counselors AAMC The Stones and Mudd took part in this A great adjustment The end of World War II in 1945 saw many combatants return home Over 3 2 million American veterans applied for training under the GI Bill creating a strong need for vocational and personal adjustment counseling at the US Veterans Administration VA That year Rogers was invited to set up a counseling center at the University of Chicago It was also at this time that clinical psychologists began offering therapy to adults in large numbers with many employed by the VA The end of the war also saw the American Psychological Association establish Divisions providing interest groups for its members to join Divisions 11 and 12 of were formed in 1945 with the two merging in 1946 to become the Division of Clinical and Abnormal Psychology as Division 12 Division 17 of the APA was formed in 1946 as the Division of Personnel and Guidance Psychologists Also in 1946 Connecticut became the first US state to require psychologists to be licensed The last to do so was Missouri in 1977 In 1947 Rogers was elected president of the APA The Marriage Council of Philadelphia started the first US marriage counsellor training program in 1948 training Navy chaplains It was suggested that personal adjustment counseling is actually a psychotherapeutic supplement to vocational counseling for problems not serious enough to require psychiatric treatments in 1949 More than 500 people had joined Division 17 in 1949 Around half of these provided guidance or supervised it in an educational setting Approximately 20 guided people in the VA 40 of Division 17 members were also members of the NVGA Counseling psychology and other counseling In 1951 the APA s Division 17 became the Division for Counseling Psychology This body united psychologists students and professionals who were dedicated to promote education and training practice scientific investigation diversity and public interest in the field of counseling psychology It would later become known as the Society for Counseling Psychology In 1952 the American Personnel and Guidance Association APGA was founded merging the NVGA the National Association of Guidance and Counselor Trainers NAGCT the Student Personnel Association for Teacher Education SPATE and the American College Personnel Association ACPA Starting in the early 1950s the first counseling psychology PhD programs were at the University of Minnesota Ohio State University University of Maryland College Park University of Missouri Teachers College Columbia University and University of Texas at Austin At times counseling psychologists with qualifications from university education departments had difficulty being registered as psychologists by US states due to difficulty proving that their study was sufficiently psychological in nature In 1955 the National Association of Social Workers was established through the consolidation of seven groups including the American Association of Social Workers and the National Association of School Social Workers In 1960 the AIFR in Los Angeles was described the world s largest and best known marriage counseling center with a staff of seventy By that year the institute had given training to over 300 marriage counselors and shorter courses around the US to over 1500 other people The US National Association of School Psychologists NASP began in 1969 The AAMC became the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy AAMFT in 1974 In 1976 the American Mental Health Counselors Association AMHCA was founded to represent mental health counselors who did not qualify for APA membership and didn t fit in the college counseling focused APGA The AMHCA became a part of the latter in 1978 Individual US states began to license counselors in the 1970s In 1981 the APGA established The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs to standardise counseling education In 1982 the APGA established an independent body the National Board for Certified Counselors NBCC to provide a national certification system for counselors who were not qualified psychologists The APGA changed its name in 1983 to the American Association of Counseling and Development AACD and then in 1992 to the American Counseling Association ACA Also in 1992 the ACPA left the organisation The AIFR ceased operating in the 1980s A 1986 study found that of APA Division 17 members 80 did personal adjustment counseling 71 did vocational counseling 69 did long term psychotherapy and 58 did family counseling It found that there appear to be few if any empirical bases on which to distinguish counseling psychologists from their colleagues in clinical psychology In the late 1980s and 1990s US states increasingly required the licensing of family councilors The Association of Marital amp Family Therapy Regulatory Boards was established to allow for nationally harmonised accreditation The ACA defined counseling in 2010 as a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals families and groups to accomplish mental health wellness education and career goals In 2019 the American Mental Health Counselors Association AMHCA separated from the ACA As much as their practitioners did many of the same things clinical psychology came to focus on treating abnormal psychology issues while counseling psychology came to focus on addressing normal psychology matters Counseling as overseen by the ACA and AMHCA came to include all the subject areas listed by Rogers in 1942 that didn t require its practitioners to have psychology or psychiatry qualifications including those that use some other name However while it had Divisions for family counseling and social work other bodies would have many more members from those fields Many US states now require people describing themselves as counselors to be licensed by the NBCC such counselors becoming a National Certified Counselor Books describing the present international state of the field include the Handbook of Counseling and Psychotherapy in an International Context the International Handbook of Cross Cultural Counseling and Counseling Around the World An International Handbook Taken together these volumes trace the global history of the field explore divergent philosophical assumptions counseling theories processes and trends in different countries and review a variety of global counselor education programs Moreover traditional and indigenous treatment and healing methods that may predate modern counseling methods by hundreds of years remain of significance in many non Western and Western countries Educational RequirementsTo be a counseling psychologist in the United States it is first necessary to obtain a Bachelor s degree in psychology sociology anthropology or a different degree within the realm of human services from a four year university After acquiring a Bachelor s obtaining a Master s degree is the next requirement While prerequisites for a Master s degree vary from program to program a person can become a counselor after receiving their Master s Although it is possible to obtain a Master s and Doctorate degree simultaneously if the program you are enrolled in has that option In the field of psychology a doctorate degree is another term for PhD or PsyD A PsyD is a Doctor of Psychology degree where the training emphasizes clinical practice while a PhD is a Doctor of Philosophy degree that emphasizes clinical science and research It is necessary to attend an accredited program to receive a Doctorate An accredited program means that it is approved by the APA The APA in the United States ensures that the program has defined training goals that follow the professional and scientific guidelines required for a successful ethical and skillful psychology program SalaryIn 2022 the median salary for counseling psychologists in the United States was 86 938 to 90 130 According to O NET the estimated hourly wage is 43 33 The expected growth rate is projected to be faster than average between the years of 2021 to 2031 There are assumed to be over 5000 job openings during then Variables in the Counseling ProcessCounseling psychologists are interested in answering a variety of research questions about counseling process and outcome Counseling process refers to how or why counseling happens and progresses Currently it is becoming more common for one to be concerned with their emotions and motivations as well as learning how to control and manage their unwanted habits or emotions Counseling psychology is sometimes used in order to achieve this Counseling outcome addresses whether or not counseling is effective under what conditions it is effective and what outcomes are considered effective such as symptom reduction behavior change or quality of life improvement Topics commonly explored in the study of counseling process and outcome include therapist variables client variables the counseling or therapeutic relationship cultural variables process and outcome measurement mechanisms of change and process and outcome research methods Classic approaches appeared early in the US in the field of humanistic psychology by Carl Rogers who identified the mission of counseling interview as to permit deeper expression that the client would ordinarily allow himself Therapist variables Therapist variables include characteristics of a counselor or psychotherapist as well as therapist technique behavior theoretical orientation and training In terms of therapist behavior technique and theoretical orientation research on adherence to therapy models has found that adherence to a particular model of therapy can be helpful detrimental or neutral in terms of impact on outcome A recent meta analysis of research on training and experience suggests that experience level is only slightly related to accuracy in clinical judgment Higher therapist experience has been found to be related to less anxiety but also less focus This suggests that there is still work to be done in terms of training clinicians and measuring successful training Client variables Client characteristics such as help seeking attitudes and attachment style have been found to be related to client use of counseling as well as expectations and outcome Stigma against mental illness can keep people from acknowledging problems and seeking help Public stigma has been found to be related to self stigma attitudes towards counseling and willingness to seek help In terms of attachment style clients with avoidance styles have been found to perceive greater risks and fewer benefits to counseling and are less likely to seek professional help than securely attached clients Those with anxious attachment styles perceive greater benefits as well as risks to counseling Educating clients about expectations of counseling can improve client satisfaction treatment duration and outcomes and is an efficient and cost effective intervention Counseling relationship The relationship between a counselor and a client consists in the feelings and attitudes that a client and therapist have towards one another and the manner in which those feelings and attitudes are expressed Some theorists have suggested that the relationship may be thought of in three parts transference and countertransference working alliance and the real or personal relationship Other theorists argue that the concepts of transference and countertransference are outdated and inadequate Transference can be described as the client s distorted perceptions of the therapist This can have a great effect on the therapeutic relationship For instance the therapist may have a facial feature that reminds the client of their parent Because of this association if the client has significant negative or positive feelings toward their parent they may project these feelings onto the therapist This can affect the therapeutic relationship in a few ways For example if the client has a very strong bond with their parent they may see the therapist as a father or mother figure and have a strong connection with the therapist This can be problematic because as a therapist it is not ethical to have a more than professional relationship with a client It can also be a good thing because the client may open up greatly to the therapist In another way if the client has a very negative relationship with their parent the client may feel negative feelings toward the therapist This can then affect the therapeutic relationship as well For example the client may have trouble opening up to the therapist because he or she lacks trust in their parent projecting these feelings of distrust onto the therapist Another theory about the function of the counseling relationship is known as the secure base hypothesis which is related to attachment theory This hypothesis proposes that the counselor acts as a secure base from which clients can explore and then check in with Secure attachment to one s counselor and secure attachment in general have been found to be related to client exploration Insecure attachment styles have been found to be related to less session depth than securely attached clients Cultural variables Counseling psychologists are interested in how culture relates to help seeking and counseling process and outcome Standard surveys exploring the nature of counselling across cultures and various ethnic groups include Counseling Across Cultures by Paul B Pedersen Juris G Draguns Walter J Lonner and Joseph E Trimble Handbook of Multicultural Counseling by Joseph G Ponterotto J Manueal Casas Lisa A Suzuki and Charlene M Alexander and Handbook of Culture Therapy and Healing by Uwe P Gielen Jefferson M Fish and Juris G Draguns Janet E Helms racial identity model can be useful for understanding how the relationship and counseling process might be affected by the client s and counselor s racial identity Recent research suggests that clients who are Black are at risk for experiencing racial micro aggression from counselors who are White Efficacy for working with clients who are lesbians gay men or bisexual might be related to therapist demographics gender sexual identity development sexual orientation and professional experience Clients who have multiple oppressed identities might be especially at risk for experiencing unhelpful situations with counselors so counselors might need help with gaining expertise for working with clients who are transgender lesbian gay bisexual or transgender people of color and other oppressed populations Gender role socialization can also present issues for clients and counselors Implications for practice include being aware of stereotypes and biases about male and female identity roles and behavior such as emotional expression The APA guidelines for multicultural competence outline expectations for taking culture into account in practice and research Counseling ethics and regulation Perceptions on ethical behaviors vary depending upon geographical location but ethical mandates are similar throughout the global community Ethical standards are created to help practitioners clients and the community avoid any possible harm or potential for harm The standard ethical behaviors are centered on doing no harm and preventing harm An excellent guideline to follow is the Ethics Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct This code lists out the expectations psychologists must meet and thoroughly clarifies portions of the code Some examples from the code would be respecting clients rights ensuring proper professional competence ensuring the client s welfare and giving informed consent to name a few items from the code Several states require counselors to follow a specific Code of Ethics which was revised and updated in 2014 Failure to follow this code can lead to license revocation or more severe consequences One of the major reason for the Code of Conduct is to better protect and serve the client and the counselor Counselors must review with their clients verbally and in writing the responsibilities and rights that the counselor and client have Counselors must share their techniques with the client This should include their goals for the client in their sessions and breaking down the procedures of each session It is required for any counselor to discuss their qualifications and credentials in order to establish trust in the relationship There should be a breakdown of what to expect during each session and the provider should address any concerns or misgivings a patient might share about their choice to seek counseling Counselors cannot share any confidential information that is obtained through the counseling process without specific written consent by the client or legal guardian except to prevent clear imminent danger to the client or others or when required to do so by a court order Insurance companies or government programs will also be notified of certain information about your diagnosis and treatment to determine if your care is covered Those companies and government programs are bound by HIPAA to keep that information strictly confidential Counselors are held to a higher standard than most professionals because of the intimacy of their therapeutic delivery Counselors are not only to avoid fraternizing with their clients They should avoid dual relationships and never engage in sexual relationships While explicit detrimental relationships must be avoided the counselor should understand what is currently going on and how their patient is reacting While explicit detrimental relationships must be avoided the counselor should understand what is currently going on and how their patient reacts to the counseling sessions Counselors are also prohibited from counseling their friends and family members to ensure they remain objective They are also prohibited from engaging in an online relationship such as a relationship over social media with a client The National Board for Certified Counselors states that counselors shall discuss important considerations to avoid exploitation before entering into a non counseling relationship with a former client Important considerations to be discussed include amount of time since counseling service termination duration of counseling nature and circumstances of client s counseling the likelihood that the client will want to resume counseling at some time in the future circumstances of service termination and possible negative effects or outcomes Counselors walk a fine line in regards to gifts Counselors are generally discouraged from accepting gifts favors or trade for therapy While the idea of a gift seems innocent to others it can have long lasting consequences for a counselor In some communities it may be avoidable given the economic standing of that community However individuals may feel personally rejected In some cases if an offering is something such as a cookie or some form of small token gesture like a drawing from a child it may be acceptable to receive the gesture As counselors a judgment call must be made but in most cases avoiding gifts favors and trade can be maintained There are specific examinations all counselors must pass to practice their craft successfully These examinations are the National Counselor Examination NCE National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Examination NCMHCE Certified Rehabilitation Counselor Examination CRCE Examination of Clinical Counselor Practice ECCP Of the exams listed certain ones must be passed in certain specialties however the most common exam utilized is the NCE Training and supervisionProfessional training process Counseling psychologists are trained in graduate programs Almost all programs grant a PhD but a few grant a Psy D or Ed D Most doctoral programs take 5 6 years to complete Graduate work in counseling psychology includes coursework in general psychology and statistics counseling practice and research Students must complete an original dissertation at the end of their graduate training Students must also complete a one year full time internship at an accredited site before earning their doctorate In order to be licensed to practice counseling psychologists must gain clinical experience under supervision and pass a standardized exam Training models and research Counseling psychology includes the study and practice of counselor training and counselor supervision As researchers counseling psychologists may investigate what makes training and supervision effective As practitioners counseling psychologists may supervise and train a variety of clinicians Counselor training tends to occur in formal classes and training programs Part of counselor training may involve counseling clients under the supervision of a licensed clinician Supervision can also occur between licensed clinicians as a way to improve clinicians quality of work and competence with various types of counseling clients As the field of counseling psychology formed in the mid 20th century initial training models included Robert Carkuff s human relations training model Norman Kagan s Interpersonal Process Recall and Allen Ivey s microcounseling skills Modern training models include Gerard Egan s skilled helper model and Clara E Hill s three stage model exploration insight and action A recent analysis of studies on counselor training found that modeling instruction and feedback are common to most training models and seem to have medium to large effects on trainees Supervision models and research Like the models of how clients and therapists interact there are also models of the interactions between therapists and their supervisors Edward S Bordin proposed a model of supervision working alliance similar to his model of therapeutic working alliance The Integrated Development Model considers the level of a client s motivation anxiety autonomy and self and other awareness The Systems Approach to Supervision views the relationship between supervisor and supervised as most important in addition to characteristics of the supervisor s personal characteristics counseling clients training setting as well as the tasks and functions of supervision The Critical Events in Supervision model focuses on important moments that occur between the supervisor and supervised Problems can arise in supervision and training Questions have arisen as far as a supervisor s need for formal training to be a competent supervisor Recent research suggests that conflicting multiple relationships can occur between supervisors and clients such as that of the client instructor and clinical supervisor The occurrence of racial micro aggression against Black clients suggests potential problems with racial bias in supervision In general conflicts between a counselor and his or her own supervisor can arise when supervisors demonstrate disrespect lack of support and blaming Categories of counselingCareer counseling The goal of career counseling is to help provide guidance during all stages of a person s career trajectory Career Counseling looks to help an individual understand themselves and the ongoing world around them so they may make an informed decision regarding their life and career Career counselors provide a wide array of services such as attempting to help individuals discover themselves Counselors also attempt to help others discover their actual goals or achievements they may want to complete in life regarding education career or their life in general While also helping individuals figure out what they may want to become career counselors also help find resources and information that may be of use to people in achieving their future goals Career counselors will create a roadmap of sorts to help individuals visualize where they are along in their journey of achieving their dreams One factor that counselors deal with is people tend to think unemployment can be permanent however counselors must make sure that unemployment is only temporary and their status will eventually change So counselors must do their best to give positive reinforcement to focus more on finding their path in life Career counseling may include provision of occupational information modeling skills written exercises and exploration of career goals and plans Career counseling can also involve the use of personality or career interest assessments such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator which is based on Carl Jung s theory of psychological type or the Strong Interest Inventory which makes use of Holland s theory Assessments of skills abilities and values are also commonly assessed in career counseling Career counselors have the flexibility to decide whether to conduct sessions using a group setting or single face to face in person or online setting Currently there is no internationally accepted standard to become a qualified career counselor qualifications and certification will vary depending on local state and internal regulations Marriage and family counseling The purpose of marriage and family counseling is to explore the relationships and interactions in the family and discuss the positive actions already taken and how to change the negative actions in order to bring productive change to the family Marriage and family counseling allows the family to discover how they can work together to make the household functional and find solutions when necessary Rehabilitation counseling The purpose of rehabilitation counseling is to work alongside people with disabilities in order to achieve their academic career or personal goals In rehabilitation counseling a counselor works closely with the client to address their goals and come up with a plan to achieve those goals Clinical mental health counseling Clinical mental health counseling is addressing a variety of issues such as addiction family and relationship issues abuse and stress Clinical mental health counseling provides guidance on how to handle and cope with these life struggles They help make any adjustments in order to improve the quality of life for each client Educational counseling The purpose of educational counseling is to work with students in elementary junior high and high school to discuss future education goals For elementary and junior high educational counselors are there to provide support and work alongside teachers and parents in order to avert negative actions and replace them with positive In high school an educational counselor is mainly there to help guide students to success after graduation Effects of COVID in relation to counselingThe ongoing pandemic has caused career counselors to adjust many of their current plans with their clients While also helping to improve their abilities by facing new and different situations The pandemic in the beginning caused a significant job layoff which messed up a lot of people s career plans Towards the beginning of 2020 employment lost around 22 4 million individuals a downturn of around 15 Another critical factor regarding the pandemic is that many schools shut down for a while negatively impacting students One such scenario is students looking for specific programs to start their masters may not have been able to with the educational shut down which could have negatively impacted their future career path After education started to come back online counselors soon ran into an issue They had to become more tech savvy and understand how to work digitally significantly faster to help clients since the shift to an online platform While moving to a more online counseling presence can be tricky it will lead to more positives overall One major positive being the flexibility with obtaining the counseling has become significantly better However while moving a portion to online telehealth there are still cases that are better suited to in person like addictions There was an almost doubling of referrals regarding seeing a psychologist around 2020 62 When looking at psychologists 7 out of 10 had their waitlist grow more extended about 68 Another factor to consider is the effect Covid has played on the counselor s health Seeing how the pandemic has affected their patients why could it not affect the counselors if not be more sever since they are dedicating more time to helping others instead of themselves It has been noted that Counselors could be feeling overwhelmed which can lead to many negative consequences Hopefully through research and information based upon prior crises they can stay informed to take better care of themselves while helping others Professional journalsIn the United States the scholarly journals
