Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lack of a unified and distinguishable professional identity across specialty areas has created a threat to the field of counseling in maintaining its position as a unique mental health resource in the spectrum of psychology-based disciplines. The purpose of this research study was to contribute to the understanding of counselor professional identity through investigation of the specialty population of career counselors. To this end, this study quantitatively explored professional identify beliefs held by career counselors within five possible dimensions tested in prior research using the Professional Identity Scale in Counseling (PISC). The study sample consisted of 285 working career counselors with, at minimum, master's degrees in counseling or closely related fields and who were also members in the National Career Development Association. Subscales of the PISC addressed Knowledge of the Profession, Philosophy of the Profession, Roles and Expertise, Attitudes, and Engagement Behaviors. Data, from a nine-question demographic survey along with a 55 Likert scale item question set, was collected through an online platform. Previous testing of the PISC indicated that afore mentioned professional identity characteristics resonated with both mental health and school counseling groups. Findings of this study supported the reliability of the PISC to measure the strength with which career counselors aligned with these professional identity constructs as well. Multiple comparisons of groups, partitioned by demographic features including sex, achieved level of education, accreditation of educational training programs, number of professional affiliations, professional roles, years of work experience, and setting of employment were made using t-test and analysis of variance statistical procedures. These analyses showed a variety of statistical significant differences at the p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counseling leaders have published guidelines for enhancing professional counselor identity. The goal of these calls to action is to strengthen and unify the counseling profession in order to differentiate the field from other helping professions and to solidify a definition of professional counselor identity. One facet of professional counselor identity lies in counselors' level of engagement with research engagement, otherwise defined as research identity. Counselors must consistently engage in research activities in order to utilize evidence-based clinical practices and evaluate the efficacy of treatment interventions. However, counseling scholars discuss the need for increased research engagement across the profession. The training of counselors begins at the master's level in counseling education programs, which provide the foundation for professional counselor identity, including research engagement. Many scholars have discussed research identity development among doctoral counselor education students, but little information exists which explicates this concept among master's students. This study provides quantitative data regarding counselor education master's students research identity, specifically in relation to three key constructs of research identity: research motivation, research competence, and advisory working alliance. Through this study, I accomplished three objectives: (1) describe the level of self-reported perceived research competency among master's-level counselor education students in CACREP-accredited programs in the NCACES region, (2) describe relationships among participants' self-reported research competency, research motivation, and perceptions of advisory working alliance, and (3) describe relationships among participants' self-reported research competency, research motivation, and perceptions of advisory working alliance and age, gender, program specialty area, undergraduate major, number of terms in the master's program, and number of research courses taken. Participants in this study include 189 counselor education master's students in programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) within the North Central region of the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (NCACES). Findings of this study provide several implications for counseling leaders, counselor educators, and supervisors of counseling students in the pursuit of training future professional counselors. A discussion professional counselor identity and research identity are provided here, as well as a review of research engagement among counselors and counseling students. Further, the results of the study are presented as well as implications and limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of professional identity of counselors is a recent area of focus within the counseling profession. The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs standards for counselor education programs of all specialties reflect the trend towards establishing a strong professional identity for counselors. One factor shown to be influential in professional identity development has been experiential learning opportunities, which allow counselors-in-training to develop an individual professional identity through application of educational content in real-world scenarios. The literature suggests experiential learning is a pivotal opportunity for professional identity development for entry-level counseling students. One opportunity for experiential learning, which may inform professional identity development, is the small group experience with the Group Counseling and Group Work requirements of the accreditation standards. The current study explored the small group experiences of entry-level counseling students enrolled in accredited universities. This study employed three, online hermeneutic phenomenological focus groups including nine participants as a method for discovery of the professional identity development within the small group experience. Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis of online focus groups yielded themes professional identity development and dual relationships. Discussion of themes and subthemes of parallel process and barriers to disclosure discovered through analysis, include illustration with exemplar quotes from participants. This dissertation offers discussion of findings, implications for practice, considerations for future research, and limitations of the current study.

Download or read book From Meaning of Working to Meaningful Lives The Challenges of Expanding Decent Work written by Annamaria Di Fabio and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic explores issues that are central to the continued relevance of organizational and vocational psychology, and equally central to the well-being of individuals and communities. The cohering theme of this publication revolves around the question of how people can establish meaningful lives and meaningful work experiences in light of the many challenges that are reducing access to decent work. Another essential contextual factor that is explored in this volume is the Decent Work Agenda (International Labour Organization, 2008), which represents an initiative by the International Labour Organization. In this book, we hope to enrich the Decent Work Agenda by infusing the knowledge and perspectives of psychology into contemporary discourses about work, and well-being. Another inspiration for this project emerged from the UNESCO Chair in Lifelong guidance and counseling, recently established in Poland in 2013 under the leadership of Jean Guichard, which has focused on advancing research and policy advocacy about decent work. This new era calls for an innovative perspective in constructing decent work and decent lives: the passage from the paradigm of motivation to the paradigm of meaning, where the sustainability of the decent life project is anchored to a meaningful construction. During this period when work is changing so rapidly, leaving people yearning for a sense of connection and meaning, it’s fundamental to create a framework for an explicitly psychological analysis of decent work.

Book excerpt: This qualitative study described the experiences of master's level counseling students who have a counselor education faculty member as their mentor. Seven master's level counseling students between the ages of 25-30, from a state university in the Southeastern United States, voluntarily participated in this study. Participants were six female students and one male student. Four participants were mental health counseling majors, while three were school counseling majors. Data collection included the use of a demographic survey and semi-structured interviews. Three themes developed based on participants' experiences. They were (1) "going above and beyond," (2) "guide you and explore options," and (3) "provide support and encouragement." Participants described "going above and beyond" as their mentor performing extra tasks that were not in their job responsibilities. Participants explained "guide you and explore options" in terms of their mentor guiding them in their professional development and career options. The theme "provide support and encouragement" described the participants' mentors showing genuine interest in them and providing them with support and encouragement throughout their relationship. A mentoring framework for counselor education is proposed based on previous literature, research, and the current study. The framework contains three categories which are (1) guidance, (2) encouragement, and (3) above and beyond. Implications are provided for counselor educators and recommendations for future research.
