Counselor Educators and Students with Problems of Professional Competence: A Survey and Discussion
Brown-Rice, Kathleen; Furr, Susan
Professional Counselor, v6 n2 p134-146 2016
A total of 370 counselor educators in CACREP-accredited [Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs] programs were surveyed to determine their knowledge of master's students' problems of professional competence (PPC) and their perception of roadblocks that affect gatekeeping practices. Findings suggest that educators are aware of students' PPC and that problematic students are impacting the overall learning environment, other students and counselor educators' personal stress. Participants reported roadblocks related to struggling emotionally to balance being empathetic with their gatekeeping duties and fears they would appear culturally insensitive.
