“…In this investigation we examined contemporary facets of training from the perspective of the directors of APA-approved counseling training programs, and we compared this assessment with the impressions gathered from directors 15 years ago (Schneider & Gelso, 1972). The perspective of the training program directors was again selected because (a) directors are in a unique position to influence training, (b) directors' views on training may change over time, and (c) with time, the people who occupy program directors' positions change (e.g., as a result of retirements, job moves), which results in programs' being refashioned.…”

Since Schneider and Gelso's (1972) investigation, four programs have ceased operation and one has undergone transformation into a combined professional-scientific program. Twenty-five new programs appear on the 1985 roster (APA, 1985) of APA-approved counseling programs (an increase of more than 100% since 1970).…”

“…An ancillary objective was to extend Schneider and Gelso's (1972) assessment in two ways. First, we studied directors' perceptions of training aspects often found in contemporary training programs that were not assessed by Schneider and Gelso (1972).…”

Observers have speculated about changes in counseling psychology over the past decade. In this investigation we compared the perspectives of 1971 and 1986 directors of American Psychological Association-approved counseling programs on emphases given to various components of training and found no changes over the 15-year interval. The 1986 directors perceived current training as emphasizing applied and theoretical aspects of social-emotional and educational-vocational counseling, group work, and research skills. Although 1986 directors felt that their training programs' strengths rested on more traditional aspects of the counseling specialty, they perceived counseling students' interests as focused on other areas (e.g., marriage counseling). Implications for the identity of counseling psychology and training in the specialty are discussed.

“…Some view it as less than sufficient for defining the profession (Goldschmitt, Tipton, & Wiggins, 1981), and others perceive it "as a stepchild to personal and social counseling" (Burck, 1975, p. 5). This attitude has been supported by the finding that many counselor training programs accord much less emphasis to career counseling than to personal counseling (Hamilton, 1977;Schneider & Gelso, 1972).…”

“…According to a recent survey, counseling psychologists are not very excited about career counseling (Goldschmitt, Tipton, & Wiggins, 1981). Many attribute this attitude to the fact that career counseling receives less emphasis in training programs (Hamilton, 1977;Schneider & Gelso, 1972) and that it is an activity that holds low status in the profession (Burck, 1975). This is most disturbing since, of all its parts, career development is deeply imbedded in the historical roots of the counseling profession.…”
