The Shifting Sands of Counseling Psychology Programs' Institutional Contexts: An Environmental Scan and Revitalizing Strategies
Blustein, David L.; Goodyear, Rodney K.; Perry, Justin C.; Cypers, Scott
Counseling Psychologist, v33 n5 p610-634 Sep 2005
Despite strong indicators of the robustness of counseling psychology, the specialty seems somewhat vulnerable, as evidenced by the fact that several solid programs have been forced to phase out or to convert to combined-integrated programs. In fact, analyzing the trends among counseling psychology programs reveals that 30% of programs that have been accredited have been phased out. This article provides a context for understanding the accreditation history of counseling psychology programs. We then offer solutions and strategies to reduce this particular vulnerability. The proximal and distal solutions that are presented may help ensure the continued flourishing of counseling psychology across institutional, programmatic, and national levels.
