Now in its tenth edition, this classic reference contains vital information in three major areas: Detailed information on each of more than 500 graduate level departments with more than 1000 counselor preparation programs; Statistical treatment with interpretations of composite national research on the six largest types of entry level (master's and sixth year) and four doctoral level counseling programs; trends based on comparison of 1999 data with longitudinal data collected periodically since 1970. New in this tenth edition is a chapter on 'The Road to Professionalism which emphasizes the individual's need to gain strong backgrounds for certification and other programs. As in previous editions, all master's and doctoral level counselor and/or therapist preparation programs in the U.S. are listed, including community, marriage/family, mental health, pastoral, gerontological, rehabilitation, school, career, and student affairs counseling. Also noted are programs accredited by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, American Association of Pastoral Counselors, Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, and Council on Rehabilitation Education - plus it identifies the location of Chi Sigma Iota (Counseling Society International) chapters.In addition to listing faculty by name, degree, title, and time devoted to each program, the text gives detailed information for each separate program: degree offered; accreditation held (if any); departmental addresses and telephone numbers; admission and graduation requirements; number of students admitted and graduating yearly; experiential clock hours; placement of graduates; and the uniqueness within the program. Courses to be added or dropped by counseling departments are listed, as are other anticipated changes within departments. Using a statistical treatment of the aforementioned data, the book also interprets the status and probable trends of preparation programs within each counseling specialty. Also considered are current emphases in the counseling field, and in what ways these are being reflected within counselor education settings.
