What is the difference with the social work profession?
It works to ameliorate social conditions that lead to mental distress and challenges, but how that work is conceptualized is different than how counselors would approach it.
How did counseling licensure begin?
As a response to social issues across the country.
The work counselors do has historically been more what?
Community based and less often in hospitals and residential settings. This means counselors are able to meet clients where they live and work, understand the context of the issues their clients are facing more completely, and help to find solutions that are appropriate within that community.
What brought with it the realization for psychologists, who had worked primarily in hospitals and institutional settings, that there were economic implications to allowing individuals trained as counselors to continue to practice under the psychologist licensure.
The Community Mental Health Centers Act. As a result, boards of psychology began to restrict who was allowed to take the psychology license exam, after years of allowing qualified counselors to become licensed as psychologists.
In the 1975, who developed a comprehensive strategy to pursue counseling licensure legislation in every state?
The ACA, which was then known as the American Personnel and Guidance Association.
