A national sample of female counselors (N=377) was surveyed regarding their psychological health and distress, work pressure and support, personal history (including erotic sexual contact with clients), personal traits, burnout and stress, personal work satisfaction, and professional concerns. Results revealed a wide variety of endorsed concerns. Dysfunctional families, power, self-esteem, developmental issues, aging, and burnout/stress were the top five reported. Incidence of erotic sexual contact with clients, students, or supervisees was minimal. Results of comparative erotic sexual contact data on a sample of male counselors showed significantly higher levels of such contact for males. Four canonical variates for two sets of data revealed gender role, age, work support, and years employed to be associated with professional concerns, stress, burnout, and personal and professional satisfaction. The overall results suggest that useful data on psychological, behavioral and professional demographic variables can be obtained by survey methodology and can be of use to the counseling profession. Further, results of the study provide a solid empirical base for the development of a program of continuing education for female counselors. (Author/LLL)
