Racial/Ethnic Minority Vocational Research Trends in Counseling Psychology and Multicultural Psychology Journals: A Trend Analysis Across 51 Years

This study extends Flores et al.’s (2006) 36-year analysis of racial/ethnic minority (REM) vocational research published in career journals to REM vocational research in eight counseling psychology and multicultural psychology journals across a span of 51 years. We identified 483 REM vocational studies published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology (JCP), The Counseling Psychologist (TCP), Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development (JMCD), Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology (CDEMP), Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (JCCP), Journal of Black Psychology (JBP), Journal of Latina/o Psychology (JLP), and Asian American Journal of Psychology (AAJP) between 1969 and 2020. Results showed that less than 5% of all articles published in these journals during the past 49 years focused on vocational issues with REMs. Publication trends, article topics and type, samples, and leading individual and institutional contributors to REM vocational research are reported. JMCD published the largest percentage of these articles (33.9%, n = 132) as well as the largest percentage (18%) of REM vocational articles relative to other articles in its journal during this time frame. Implications of the findings are provided for expanding REM vocational scholarship in counseling psychology in the future.

A Meta-Study of the Journal of Career Development: An Analysis of Publication Characteristics from 2000 to 2019

Articles published in the Journal of Career Development from 2000 to 2019 were synthesized by article content (e.g., topic, methodology, participant characteristics, sample characteristics, design, statistical sophistication, and reporting standards) and author characteristics (e.g., gender, work setting, country of domicile, leading contributors, and leading institutions) and analyzed for trends over time. International authorship is on the rise with more than half of the lead authors publishing from 2015 to 2019 from outside the USA. Author collaborations and the proportion of research articles increased; Journal of Career Development published nearly 87% of their articles as research studies in the past decade, among the highest proportion of any counseling journal.

국내 상담학 분야의 현상학적 연구 동향 분석(2010~2020)

Objectives This study analyzed the trends in phenomenological research among papers published in 2010-2020 in two domestic academic journals related to counseling—‘Korean Journal of Counseling’ and ‘The Korean Journal of Counseling and Psychological’. Methods We analyzed 63 papers published in the Korean Journal of Counseling and the Korean Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Referring to the classification categories of research papers proposed by Kim (2018), Joo et al. (2021), and Yang & Kim (2020), the papers were classified into 9 categories—basic matters, research topics, research participants, number of participants, data collection methods, in-depth interview period and sessions, research approach, validity in research, and research ethics—and analyzed. Results The counselor and the client comprised 63 topics. Personality characteristics and emotions were found, with 25 adults (39.7%), 19 counselors (30.2%), and clients as subjects. Further, 33 (52.4%), 10 (15.9%), and 10 episodes (15.9%) were performed by 7-9, 10-12, and 1-6 participants, respectively. In-depth interview was the highest data collection method with 49 papers (77.8%); In-depth interview time and session were second. The interview duration was approximately 90-150 minutes in 32 (50.8%) consultations. Giorgi's research approach was the highest with 28 articles (44.5%). Lincoln & Guba's validity enhancement strategy was the highest with 41 papers (65.1%). Finally, eight papers approved by the Bioethics Committee (IRB) in research ethics and one describing researcher ethics education appeared. Conclusions Research results suggest the creative development of the phenomenological research method through content and structural content analysis.

A Review of Foster Care in Professional Counseling Journals: A 31-Year Content Analysis

This content analysis provides a 31-year review of foster care publications and research across 24 professional counseling journals from 1991–2021. A total of 35 articles utilizing foster care as a key term were published, representing less than 1% of all possible articles (N = 11,293). The Family Journal published the highest number of foster care-centered articles (n = 18), 11 of which appeared in a special issue focusing on the subject. Professional School Counseling published the second-highest number of foster care articles (n = 4) during this period. This analysis includes an examination of publication occurrences across the thirty-one-year span, the type of article (research, non-research), research methodology, and foster care focus area. Results provide the professional counseling field with current research trends, issues, barriers, and methods for future work.

Exploring United States genetic counselor and healthcare interpreter perspectives: Allocation of roles within the genetic counseling encounter.

Genetic counselors (GCs) and healthcare interpreters (HIs) are key members of the healthcare team when providing genetic counseling services to patients with Limited English Proficiency (LEP); however, the working relationship between GCs and HIs and the role each member plays within a genetic counseling session is unclear. Previous studies assessing this relationship have been qualitative and limited in sample size (Agather et al., 2018, Journal of Genetic Counseling, 26, 1388; Krieger et al., 2018, Journal of Genetic Counseling, 26, 1388; Lara‐Otero et al., 2019, Health Communication, 34, 1608; Rosenbaum et al., 2020, Journal of Genetic Counseling, 29, 352). This study utilized a quantitative approach to allow for sampling of larger populations and to simultaneously understand current perspectives of GCs and HIs regarding each other's and their own roles within a genetic counseling session. GC and HI participants from the United States were recruited via email to complete an online survey with questions regarding interactions prior to a session, roles during a session, and opportunities for collaboration and constraints in the working relationship. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized to analyze responses of GCs and HIs. 130 GC and 40 HI participants were included in this study. There were statistically significant differences (p < .001) in responses between GC and HI participants on the expected distribution of roles during a session in advocacy, psychosocial and cultural domains. Additionally, this study identified that HI desired resources and training regarding genetics and genetic counseling are currently not being met. To our knowledge, this is the largest study to simultaneously survey GC and HI perspectives on these topics. Our findings suggest the need for greater communication and collaboration between GCs and HIs to ensure high‐quality care for patients with LEP. Integrating a pre‐session meeting between the GC and HI for sessions with patients with LEP and increasing education for GCs and HIs on the roles each group brings into a session is warranted to optimize this collaborative relationship and patient care.

Using the Stages of Change to Counsel Victims of Intimate Partner Violence

Medical, women's health, trauma, and violence prevention researchers have investigated the transtheoretical model and motivational interviewing as potential treatment models for victims of intimate partner violence. Despite these models’ prevalence in counseling, they have received minimal attention related to victims of intimate partner violence in counseling journals. The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize the use of the transtheoretical model and motivational interviewing to counsel victims of intimate partner violence. We provide overviews of both models and how they can be applied with intimate partner violence victims. Further, we explore how counselors can use the transtheoretical model and motivational interviewing to inform case conceptualization, treatment planning, and interventions for victims of intimate partner violence. Finally, we discuss the ethical implications of applying the transtheoretical model and motivational interviewing to intimate partner violence.

STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING ABOUT CYBER COUNSELING BASED ON ZOOM MEET

Cyber ​​counseling is one of the counseling technologies that follows the development of the technological age. Currently, many counseling students do not understand how to use zoom meet-based cyber counseling in conducting group counseling services, so it is necessary to provide training to students in advance how to implement counseling technology with the zoom meet-based cyber counseling method. This research uses the cyber method counseling based on zoom meet with qualitative descriptive technique. Data collection methods were taken from primary data and secondary data. Primary sources are sources that provide data directly from first-hand or original sources. In this study, the main source referred to is guidance and counseling journals about online counseling. Secondary sources are sources taken from other sources that are not obtained from primary sources. In this study, the secondary sources questioned were other books related to the subject matter.

Representation of Race and Ethnicity in Counseling and Counseling Psychology Journals

Literature reviews have concluded that People of Color are underrepresented in psychological literature; however, the fields of counseling and counseling psychology have taken a clear affirmative stance with respect to human diversity. This study sought to evaluate the representation of People of Color in four key journals across the 2000–2019 timespan: The Counseling Psychologist, Journal of Counseling Psychology, Journal of Counseling &amp; Development, and Counselling Psychology Quarterly. Journal articles were coded for variables including focus on racial/ethnic minority (REM) groups and article content topics. Results indicated that 26.3% of the articles were coded as REM-focused (3.8% focused on African Americans, 4.1% on Asian Americans, 3.1% on Latinxs, and 0.7% on Native Americans). The need for additional research is especially notable in the case of Latinxs (the least represented REM group relative to United States Census estimates) and for several multicultural topics that remain underrepresented in the literature.

Introduction to the Special Edition: Policies and Practices

Encouraging counsellors to engage in collaborative practice-based research (PBR).

Increasing research productivity among practicing counsellors has long been an aim of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors as evidenced by several articles addressing the topic published in the New Zealand Journal of Counselling over the last 20 years. Similarly, in a profession increasingly pressured to be more accountable, it is no longer considered good enough for counsellors and counselling agencies merely to espouse the "art of counselling" perspective in justifying their practices. Instead, researching counselling, especially counselling impact, is vital to the wider acceptance of the profession. Such research depends, in large part, on encouraging more counsellors to participate in researching their own casework, either as individuals or as a member of a research team or group. This article references two examples of the second of those options (specifically, collaboration between a counsellor in private practice and outside researchers) to demonstrate that even rudimentary collaboration between counsellors and researchers can produce useful knowledge about the process and impact of counselling and can have positive effects on a counsellor's practice. Increased collaboration of this sort is one way to fulfil the need for counsellors and researchers to generate more practice-based research (PBR), especially outcome research (Sexton et al., 1997).

Cultural appropriation, appreciation, and adaption: A rejoinder to “Effects of a Rite of Passage Ceremony on Veterans' Well‐Being”

AbstractThis rejoinder critically examines Greenleaf, Roessger, Williams, and Motsenbocker's article in the Journal of Counseling &amp; Development (JCD) entitled “Effects of a Rite of Passage Ceremony on Veterans' Well‐Being” using the concepts cultural appropriation, appreciation, and adaption, combined with the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCCs). We will introduce these terms and connect them to examples related to Native American history, while providing an analysis of the article's approach to Native American culture. Concluding the rejoinder are suggestions to meet multicultural competencies, including pragmatic ways in which counseling practice and research can improve and a checklist applicable for practitioners and scholars.

Disability Content in theJournal of Counseling and DevelopmentandSocial Work: A Comparative Analysis

The purpose of this study was to provide an understanding of how disability is addressed in the Journal of Counseling and Development (JCD), the flagship journal of the American Counseling Association. A review of disability content in JCD was compared with a review of disability in Social Work (SW), the flagship journal of the National Association of Social Workers. A series of between and within analyses for JCD and SW addressed the frequency, focus areas, and trends concerning how both journals addressed disability content over their histories. Overall, SW published a higher rate of disability content articles. Mental health was the most common disability domain addressed in both journals; however, JCD has published most of its disability content articles on mental health over the past two decades. The findings of the present study are discussed concerning prior research, historical events, and implications for accreditation.

Whiteness Scholarship in the Counseling Profession: A 35-Year Content Analysis

We conducted a content analysis of counseling scholarship related to Whiteness for articles published in national peer-reviewed counseling journals within the 35-year time frame (1984–2019) following the publication of Janet Helms’s seminal work on White racial identity. We identified articles within eight counseling journals for a final sample of 63 articles—eight qualitative (12.7%), 38 quantitative (60.3%), and 17 theoretical (27.0%). Our findings outline publication characteristics and trends and present themes for key findings in this area of scholarship. They reveal patterns such as type of research methodology, sampling, correlations between White racial identity and other constructs, and limitations of White racial identity assessment. Based on this overview of extant research on Whiteness, our recommendations include future research that focuses on behavioral and clinical manifestations, anti-racism training within counselor education, and developing a better overall understanding of how White attitudes and behaviors function for self-protection.
