Developmental Characteristics of Home-Based Counselors: A Key to Serving At-Risk Families
Lawson, Gerard; Foster, Victoria
Family Journal Counseling and Therapy for Couples and Families, v13 n2 p153-161 Apr 2005
Home-based counseling is an incredibly demanding intervention, yet little is known about the counselors providing this important service. This study sought to profile ego development, conceptual complexity, and supervision satisfaction for 120 home-based counselors. Counselors scored at moderate levels on measures of both ego development and conceptual level. Most counselors (74.2%) reported dissatisfaction with supervision because they are "undersupervised." Implications for using a cognitive developmental framework for training and supervising home-based counselors are discussed.
