Awareness of Counselor Trainees on Clients’ Social Barriers

Abstract

The researchers examined the relationship between cognitive complexity, awareness of social barriers, and number of credits hours taken, among 68 counselor trainees. A significant inverse relationship was found between cognitive complexity and the perception of client barriers. The findings indicate there is no relationship between the number of credit hours earned in the program and awareness of social barriers. Implications for counselor preparation are discussed.
