“…In this case cognitive complexity seems clearly related to the number of elements in cognitive structures (extent) and to the extensiveness of the bonding among these elements (shape). A final example of theorizing about client cognitive change during counseling is found in the recent work of Presbury, McKee, and Moore (1983). They argue that client change as conceptualized in models of counseling such as that of Egan (1975) can be viewed as a progressive movement through phases of cognitive assimilation and accommodation, two processes that involve structural changes in content, extent, shape, and, perhaps, variety.…”

“…Strong (Strong, 1968;Strong & Claiborn, 1982) developed a theory of client change in counseling based on the counselor's ability to influence clients to engage in a reattributional process, which reduces cognitive dissonance created by counselor attitudes and opinions that are discrepant with those held by the client. Additional examples of informationprocessing theories of client change in counseling have been presented by Presbury et al (1983) and Wexler (1974).…”

“…(This is a very abbreviated description of Wexler's extremely rich and well-argued ideas, and interested readers are encouraged to study his original writings.) Presbury et al (1983) sought to remedy the deficit in most theories of cognitive therapy and counseling arising from the absence of systems to explain the specific dynamics that take place within the client's conceptual or cognitive organization. They pulled together ideas from Piagetian learning theory and Egan's (1975) helping techniques.…”

A model of the cognitive structures and processes thought to compose the human information-processing system is presented. Possible difficulties in processing information are discussed because these may contribute to client problems and concerns. Recent work in applying understandings, from human information processing to an elucidation of client change in counseling, is reviewed. Information-processing models of client-centered and rational-emotive counseling are constructed that relate counseling skills and strategies employed in these approaches to hypothesized client cognitive changes. An integrated view of client cognitive change in counseling also is presented. Possible directions for research and theorizing in counseling and counselor education from the perspective of human information processing are mentioned briefly.It is obvious to anyone at all familiar with the field of psychology that cognitive approaches have come to dominate this field in recent years. Foremost among these cognitive approaches is that of information processing. Information-processing theorists in psychology attempt to describe the cognitive structures and processes by which humans perceive, attend, code, store, retrieve, and respond to information in the environment and information previously stored in internal cognitive structures.Concomitant with the growth of cognitivism in psychology has been an increasing emphasis in counseling on cognitively oriented treatment interventions (e.g., Ellis, 197 1;Meichenbaum, 1977; Stone, 1980). To date, such interventions have been developed in the absence of a Jack Martin is an assoczate professor,

Arguments are presented for obtaining relatively direct data on counselor and client cognitive processes during counseling when conducting research on counseling outcomes. A theory of cognitive processing in counseling is presented, and a research paradigm is described that considers cognitive processes and attempts to link such processes to the interactive behaviors of counselors and clients and to client learning outcomes. Some of the methodological and conceptual issues related to the operationalization of this cognitive mediational paradigm are considered, and a few illustrative research programs are described. Possible implications for counseling theory and practice are explored briefly.
