“…A limited number of studies are devoted to the exploration of the overlap of career and personal/mental health counseling (Gold, & Scanlon, 1993; Niles et al, 2000; Pace & Quinn, 2000; Spengler, 2000). This study addressed this concern by demonstrating the interconnectednessof career concerns and mental health diagnoses.…”

Individuals diagnosed with mental health disorders may have work-related difficulties that impact functioning in all life domains. With limited research on the integration of career and mental health counseling, authors used a discriminant function analysis to assess the predictability of accurately identifying diagnostic categories among 258 adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities (LDs) through the use of constructs derived from three career development inventories. Results showed that using an appropriate interpretive T-score from individuals with the same diagnosis enhanced the ability to discriminate between diagnoses of LD and ADHD in young adults. Implications for the practice of career counseling and development are provided.

“…Research has consistently revealed that most clients will attend less than six sessions, with a median length of 3-4 sessions (Draper et al 2002;Gallagher 2002;Garfield 1994;Gold and Scanlon 1993;Howard et al 1989;Koss 1979;Lambert et al 2001;Ledsky et al 2000;Scogin et al 1986;Vermeersch et al 2004;Ward and McCollum 2005). Furthermore, the modal duration for counseling or psychotherapy is one session, something experienced by as many as 50% of clients (cf., Anderson and Lambert 2001;Pekarik 1996;Talmon 1990;Wolgast et al 2003).…”

Most clients attend only a few sessions before dropping out of counseling and, consequently, never traverse the series of stages delineated in many counseling process models. There is frequently a mismatch between the counseling process as portrayed in many counseling textbooks with the counseling process students are likely to experience when they begin practicum and internship placements. Based on the counseling duration and premature termination literature, this article considers several models that counselor educators could adopt to better prepare students to work with the large proportion of clients who will often attend only a few sessions before terminating contact.

“…He found that students who presented for personal counseling scored significantly higher than control participants on both Al and Di. Gold and Scanlon (1994) studied the differences between students who presented for personal counseling and those who presented for vocational or educational counseling. They found no differences between career and noncareer clients.…”

The Psychological Screening Inventory (PSI; R. I. Lanyon, 1970, 1973, 1978, 1993, 2006) was developed as a cost-effective screening device in identifying persons for whom a more complete psychological evaluation should be conducted. The author reviews data bearing on the utility of the PSI in this regard and in more general applications. The Alienation scale showed strong effect sizes in distinguishing psychiatric inpatients from controls, the Social Nonconformity scale in distinguishing incarcerated groups from control, and the Discomfort scale in identifying persons with general psychological distress. These findings were supported by correlational data with comparable scales, and by a variety of smaller comparison studies. Meaningful discriminations were also shown for adolescents and for college-age young adults. Findings in studies of substance abusers and medical problems were also reviewed. Response Distortion scales showed effectiveness similar to that of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2; J. N. Butcher, W. G. Dahlstrom, J. R. Graham, A. Tellegen, & B. Kaemmer, 1989) validity scales. Validity was also shown for several of the seven available foreign language translations. It was concluded that the PSI is effective for the tasks for which it was designed.
