Historical Antecedents: Counseling Psychology and the Fulbright Program

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a comprehensive, field-specific directory of counseling psychologists who have served as Fulbright scholars. First, the authors provide a brief history of the development and mission of the Fulbright program, followed by a review of prominent Fulbright grants. Next, they focus on the Fulbright Senior Scholars program. They detail the method used to explore related archival data and present a list generated from those data to include researchers and educators who professionally identify as counseling psychologists. Host country and dates of international service under the auspices of the Fulbright scholarship are included. Ultimately, the authors seek to provide documentation and stimulate future research into the collective impact of individual Fulbright scholars on counseling psychology as a discipline.
