“…The CP degree emerged to dominance for clinical positions only when combined with other degrees, especially with CL. In light of the documented preference of CPs for clinical positions (Goodyear et al, 2000), it is important for CPs to understand that they may be in competition with CLs for the majority of these positions, including many university counseling center positions. (Of the 129 clinical positions advertised asking for either a CP or CL degree, 79 were for college or university counseling centers.…”

“…Most counseling psychology graduates (CPs) pursue careers as clinicians (Goodyear et al, 2000). The fact that recent years have ushered in the CP doctor of psychology degree (PsyD) has potentially increased the numbers of CP clinicians (Goodyear et al, 2000;Stoltenberg et al, 2000). It is unknown if clinical positions for CPs are increasing to match the growing number of CP programs.…”

Employment opportunities for persons with doctoral degrees in counselor education and counseling psychology were studied. Over 15 months, 708 positions were identified and analyzed to determine frequency of advertised positions calling for either degree, types of positions, and references to the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) or the American Psychological Association. Additional analyses were conducted for counselor education. Results found the counselor education degree to have a clear identity in the marketplace, especially for faculty positions, whereas the degree in counseling psychology was more often 1 of multiple degrees listed for an advertised position. Implications are discussed, including implications for CACREP-accredited doctoral programs and needs for future research.An important role for counselor educators is one of advising talented master's degree students regarding doctoral education. These students often have a baccalaureate degree in psychology and are wrestling with the decision to apply for a degree in counselor education (CE) or counseling psychology (CP). As noted by Rogers, Gill-Wigal, Harrigan, and Abbey-Hines (1998), the amount of overlap between CE and CP makes it difficult for prospective students to ascertain which degree might provide greater access to the greater number of desirable positions. Because students typically divide professional opportunities into those in academe and those in clinical settings, they tend to be interested in accruing information about the demand for either degree in one or both of these areas.In addition to the commonalities and shared history of CE and CP noted by others (e.g.

“…However, it also has ensured its vitality and relevance by adapting to changes that have occurred in society, the marketplace, and the broader profession of psychology (see, e.g., Goodyear et al, 2000). As a result, the specialty has evolved considerably since its formal origins in the late 1940s (cf.…”

The authors examined changes in the profession of counseling psychology by comparing results of similar surveys of Society of Counseling Psychology (SCP) members administered 15 years apart (in 1985 and 2000). The authors found the roles and settings of SCP members were relatively stable across this period but observed that notably fewer respondents were engaged in vocational counseling or vocational assessment and that the proportion of women SCP members nearly doubled over this time period. Year 2000 data also included the responses of counseling psychologists who were not SCP members. Numerous differences emerged from a comparison of SCP members and nonmembers. For example, members were more likely than nonmembers to (a) be employed in university settings, (b) identify as academics, (c) be either an American Psychological Association (APA) fellow or an American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) diplomate, and (d) publish in professional outlets.

“…As counseling psychologists, we are uniquely qualified to interpret a wide range of human experience from a developmental perspective, with a strong appreciation for diversity (Goodyear et al, 2000). With an increasing number of counseling psychology training programs emphasizing the related values of self-determination, equity, and social justice, opportunities for unique partnerships between counseling psychologists and community agencies dedicated to serving vulnerable populations (such as PWHIV) have increased (Schmidt, Hoffman, & Taylor, 2006).…”

Because of recent advances in medications and treatment regimens, persons with HIV disease are maintaining better health status and living longer. Thus, greater opportunities exist for these individuals to either continue their current employment or return to the world of work. The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide in-depth descriptions of related vocational experiences of persons with HIV. Data were collected from eight focus groups consisting of a diverse sample of people living with HIV (N = 93). Results support the need for counseling psychologists and other mental health professionals to address real and perceived barriers, both internal and contextual, while also becoming advocates for persons with HIV who want to work. A model derived from qualitative data analysis provides visual representation of the work experiences of people living with HIV, for potential application in assessment and treatment.
