“…The group also referred to the planning documents for the Georgia Conference (Weissberg et al, 1988), which recommended that a survey needed to be developed "to gather input from the leaders of the field" (p. 327). This strategy helped in planning "a conference that truly addressed the needs of the profession" (p. 327).…”

A Delphi poll of the institutional members of the Council of Counselling Psychology Training Programmes in the United States revealed anticipations regarding the future of the speciality in relation to three broad areas of contemporary concern. These included the speciality's anticipated core identity, the future role of science and research training in the speciality, and its probable developments in relation to professional training. In general, a commitment to cultural diversity and life-span development occupied pre-eminent positions in relation to the speciality's anticipated identity. Signi cant attention to methodological diversity and scienti c and professional reform were also noted within the context of continuing challenges to the speciality's identity and its future.Forecasting the future requires imagination rather than straightforward deductive reasoning, and the forecasts themselves can in uence the shape of things to come.

Today most training programs carefully regulate many training goals for students (e.g., required courses), in part because of our belief in their training utility but also in part because of accreditation standards and licensing boards.…”

In the last analysis, the essential thing is the life of the individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. In our most private and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, and its sufferers, but also its makers.
