Counseling CurriculumCounseling Curriculum
A counseling curriculum will provide an opportunity for a counseling student to prepare to meet professional requirements. International research indicates that counseling exists in some form or another in most cultures. A characteristic researchers have found consistently is the adaptability of counseling skills and practice to fit the needs and expectations of a particular culture or region. Technology is creating some interesting counseling delivery tools including phone counseling, chat counseling, e-mail counseling, and video counseling. The exact definition of professional counseling varies because practice adapts to contexts. A counseling curriculum might include course work in the following areas; Foundations of Counseling: The Helping Relationship Human Growth and Development Social and Cultural Foundations of Counseling Theories of Counseling Appraisal and Testing of Individuals Techniques of Group Counseling Lifestyle and Career Development Professional Orientation and Ethics Research and Evaluation Counseling Learning Practicum.
