“…We are not the only writers encouraging members of our profession to pursue such activities. Other investigators have strongly encouraged counselors to leave their offices (Oberer & Lee, 1986;Stern, 1982) and use their research and counseling skills to study and influence businesses and organizations (Dorn, 1986;Foley & Redfering, 1987;Minatoya, 1982;Stern, 1982). We believe that the counseling profession can contribute a great deal to the development, provision, and evaluation of EAP services.…”

The proliferation of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) has created new opportunities for persons in the counseling profession to examine specific psychological, sociological, and environmental factors associated with employee occupational mental health, stress‐affected work performance, vocational adjustment, and job‐related social behavior. In this article, we discuss the contribution that Bayer and Gerstein's (1988a) Bystander‐Equity Model of Supervisory Helping Behavior can make to the pursuit of EAP research based on the traditions of the field of counseling. We also offer the field a structure for pursuing empirical and applied activities in EAP settings. Finally, we encourage counseling researchers and practitioners to respond to the challenge of working much more closely with EAPs, so that our profession can further establish its commitment to investigating various aspects of vocational behavior.
