“…To this end, collaborative efforts with representatives from professional associations and regulating bodies around the world (i.e., Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, and Taiwan) led to the collection of data using nationally adapted versions of the survey used for this study. Those efforts culminated in a special issue of Counselling Psychology Quarterly (Goodyear, & Lichtenberg, 2016) and provided a cross-national comparison of the nature and scope of what counseling psychologists do around the world (see Goodyear, Lichtenberg, et al, 2016; Hutman, Lichtenberg, Goodyear, Overland, & Tracey, 2016).…”

We summarize the results of a national survey (N = 799) conducted to provide a current snapshot of counseling psychologists, what they do, how and where they do it, and the extent to which they ascribe to specific counseling psychology values. We describe our sample and compare Society of Counseling Psychology (SCP) members to non-SCP counseling psychologists belonging to the American Psychological Association. Of those within the SCP, we compare early career professionals (ECPs) with mid to senior-level professionals. Finally, we compare findings from our survey with those from two previous surveys. Our findings highlight the diversity in the roles, activities, workplaces, and perspectives of contemporary counseling psychologists; differences between counseling psychologists who are SCP members and nonmembers, and between ECPs and more senior professionals; and changes in the profession's character over time. Considerations for the SCP are discussed.

“…Kagan, Burton, Duckett, Lawthorn, & Siddiquee (2011) commented, 'if we are serious about social justice as a value, we are serious about people's rights to self-determination, to a fair allocation of resources, to live in peace, with freedom from constraints and to be treated fairly and equitably'. A 2016 global portrait (Goodyear et al, 2016), exploring counselling psychologists' characteristics, perspectives and professional behaviours, revealed private practice as the primary work setting, particularly in the United Kingdom, charging between £50-110 per session. On discharge from prison, a young man will receive £46, a figure that has remained the same since 1996, which was then sufficient to survive on for two weeks until further benefits were available.…”

Resilience to reoffending: Practice considerations for psychological therapies supporting young men to overcome adversity

Within the United Kingdom, 75% of young men aged 18-25 will reoffend within two years of being released from prison, yet we still do not know enough about how underlying protective mechanisms contribute to positive outcomes for those who have engaged in antisocial behaviour. This study explored the mechanisms that support young men's resilience to reoffending. The aim was to inform the approach of practitioners working with this population, in particular counselling psychologists, and to contribute to youth justice policy. Additionally, young people who are involved in crime are often discussed in the literature on youth offending and mental health, yet rarely given the chance to tell their story of changing their trajectory. Eight young men, aged 18-25, with previous involvement in the criminal justice system were interviewed using narrative enquiry with an emphasis on the subjective experiences that nurtured their resilient pathways. The study drew on Hart, Blincow and Thomas' Resilience Framework (Hart, Blincow, & Thomas, 2007) to categorise the data. The young men's accounts highlighted that mechanisms within all the categories of the Resilience Therapy (Hart, Blincow & Thomas, 2007) framework were pertinent in nurturing resilient pathways: Basics, Belonging, Learning, Coping and Core Self. The study further demonstrated how the young men's contexts were significant in fostering their resilience to reoffending. The findings suggest the importance of a counselling and psychotherapy approach that targets both social and individual mechanisms to facilitate growth. In a context with significant social, economic and political challenges, the absence of a two-pronged approach will limit the young men's resilience to surviving.

“…Universities or professional schools are the local environments for most counseling psychologists in the United States (Goodyear et al, 2016). Evidence abounds that higher education has transformed from a “public good” to a “private commodity,” subject to the logic and priorities of the marketplace (Giroux, 2014; Heller, 2016; Shore & Davidson, 2014).…”

There is a growing concern in counseling psychology that the field is not matching its commitment to social justice with adequate preparation of social change agents. Compiling and building off of a uniquely interdisciplinary framework, this article offers an alternative way forward for psychologists and trainees. Recommendations include a reorientation to institutions in which psychologists are immediately embedded and a legitimization of direct-action methods.
