Abstract:

In the 2006 Job Analysis of Certified Rehabilitation Counselors, the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification asked counselors where they thought the profession would be in 5 years. A total of 529 counselors gave their opinions about the future of rehabilitation counseling within the context of the sociopolitical environment in which they practice, about general trends in the profession, and about how these might affect the sector in which they are employed. Perceptions included concerns about the aging workforce and client base, the role of assistive technology, counseling skill development to meet the needs of a more complex client population, funding resources, and licensure/certification issues. Implications of their answers within the emerging generational context were explored, as were ideas for future research.

Abstract:

How culture affects the counseling process is important to the rehabilitation professional. Culture consists of roles, values, attitudes, and norms shared by a society. It provides a framework for classifying behavior. Culture has a lifelong impact. Culture-related problems include client expectations, language, family structure, and the use of self-disclosure techniques. Counselor factors include stereotyping-and overgeneralizing. Culturally effective counselors are sensitive to their own and their clients' backgrounds, know and use a wide range of techniques, hold a world view, and practice patience. Research on how culture relates to stigma and to adjustment to disability is needed.

Abstract:

It is estimated about 200,000 Americans have been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy (MD), a neuromuscular disease characterized by gradual degeneration and atrophy of the muscle cells and fibers (Siegel, 1999). Functional limitations associated with MD include cognitive, social, physical/vocational, and emotional functioning. Rehabilitation counselors are advised to use a holistic approach to serving clients with MD. Compassion is key to building a meaningful professional relationship between the client and the rehabilitation counselor. However, rehabilitation counselors should neither communicate an overly pessimistic outlook nor raise false hope.

Abstract:

This article describes a vision of rehabilitation counseling, wherein both the profession of rehabilitation counseling and the diverse roles of rehabilitation counselors are recognized and valued by rehabilitation counselors, the general public, and other professionals in promoting social justice and equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities. Using parallels with psychology, this article describes opportunities and challenges related to the visibility and centrality of rehabilitation counseling in society. Marketing is a key element in moving rehabilitation counseling from a fringe activity to a central, well-known profession. Recommendations to make rehabilitation counseling central to society include rehabilitation professional associations and other constituencies (a) working together to market the profession, which can capitalize on the ever-expanding number of career opportunities for rehabilitation counselors and (b) leveraging resources for the common good while respecting our differences.

Abstract:

Background:Preprofessional training for rehabilitation counselors necessarily includes experiential components designed to develop the clinical skills of trainees. Though there are a broad range of supervision models and modes of delivery available, thorough descriptions of supervisory practices are rare, particularly for existential and experiential approaches.Objective:The purpose of this article is to describe an approach to experiential rehabilitation counselor supervision (ERCS) which orients counselors-in-training toward heightened awareness of the clinical environment and being fully present within their counselor–client interactions. Within this existential approach, the depth of focus on the interpersonal counseling experience is offered as a counterbalance to an overemphasis on technical proficiency and procedural fidelity.Framework:The ERCS process exposes students to counseling and supervision in intensified experiential forms within: (a) the counseling session, (b) individual supervision, and (c) group supervision. The supervision format and mode of trainee observation of the counseling session may vary, though in each case, the focus is on awareness and presence above techniques. During individual supervision, the emphasis on awareness is maintained, though precedence is given to supervisee anxiety, supervisee countertransference, and parallel process. In group supervision, trainee and group process dynamics may initially escalate anxieties, but this format opens opportunities for insight through sharing of experiences, facilitated feedback, and activation of therapeutic factors.Conclusion:The ERCS approach is intended to emphasize the primacy of relational components of counseling and to promote interpersonal learning that will be useful for trainees in their direct client work in internship and future employment.

Abstract:

Racial-ethnic backgrounds of rehabilitation counseling clientele have become increasingly diverse. Additionally, the current emphasis on globalization and international rehabilitation in diverse communities requires educators to examine teaching methods and strategies to best train rehabilitation counselors working within these complex diverse populations. Rehabilitation counseling training programs have begun to embrace multicultural practices as they are implemented in accreditation standards; however, implementation of multicultural practices in educational programs is still unclear. The purpose of this article is to define multicultural education and its role in rehabilitation counselor education. A multifaceted approach to multicultural education in rehabilitation counseling education is presented. Implications for rehabilitation counselor education programs is discussed.

Abstract:

The impact of social change and technological developments supports a shift in rehabilitation from an intraindividual focus to a greater emphasis on person/environment interaction. The personal impact of disability is presented from a social-environmental perspective and the implications of this model for counseling intervention are considered. The psychoeducational approach is applicable to this model of the psychosocialimpact of disability and to the role and function of rehabilitation counselors. Psychoeducation is a planned approach, based on principles of psychology and education, to teach individuals the understandings and competencies of human relations for effective living. Psychoeducation follows an educational model of service delivery, in contrast to medical models. Counselor and client roles and functions are redefined in terms of teacher and student. The evolution of this perspective is traced through broad changes in psychology, mental health and medical health care, and American culture. Examples of psychoeducational approaches to specific disability-related problems are presented to demonstrate its applicability to handicaps and rehabilitation.

Abstract:

BackgroundThe KVI-R was developed by a team of researchers in collaboration with the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) as a measurement instrument to assess training needs of rehabilitation counselors. The KVI-R includes 92 items measured on two dimensions: importance to the rehabilitation counseling field and degree of preparedness to work in that area.ObjectiveThe objective for this study was to assess and compare training needs reported by private sector and public sector rehabilitation counselors via the KVI-R.MethodsParticipant data for this study was compiled from two previous studies examining rehabilitation counselors working the public sector and a second study examining the private sector. A sample of 442 public sector rehabilitation counselors were recruited from the state-federal Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies within the federal Mid-Atlantic Region III (DC, DE, MD, PA, VA, WV). A sample of 423 private sector rehabilitation counselors across the United States were recruited through the George Washington University's Forensic Rehabilitation Counseling Certificate Program marketing email list for a total sample of N = 865 Participants responded to two pre- and post- survey questions along with the Knowledge Validation Inventory–Revised (KVI-R) instrument which is used to measure training needs of rehabilitation professionals.FindingsThere were no statistically significant differences shown between the two groups' overall training need or for any KVI-R domain specific need. Both groups indicated that time spent in training was unnecessarily emphasized in areas of group counseling practices and interventions, group counseling theories, and historical philosophical foundations of rehabilitation counseling. Comparing qualitative responses between rehabilitation counselors in the private and the public sector, there were several areas of differences in reported training needs. Those who worked in the public sector reported significantly higher perceived benefits from further training for persons with disabilities (p = .001). Additionally, demographic differences were found between overall years practicing, with private sector counselors having about twice the clinical experience on average compared to the public sector counselors. In addition, private sector counselors had significantly more professional credentials compared to public sector rehabilitation counselors.

Abstract:

Outcome following accidental injury, including return to work, can be impeded by any psychological sequelae that persists beyond the acute phase of recovery. Vocational counselors, as for rehabilitation practitioners in general, must therefore be proficient in identifying any-post-trauma psychological difficulties, able to determine their basis and significance, and either successfully treat or refer for treatment. Two cases are presented within the context of the trauma literature that indicate the necessity of proactively providing intervention as a component of the process of rehabilitation following injury, at least in some cases. In so doing, it is hoped that any detrimental effects that traumatic component of being injured have will be reduced.

Abstract:

An examination of rehabilitation counseling supervision in public settings was undertaken. This examination emphasizes the importance of counseling supervision in the professional development of rehabilitation counselors. In addition, certain barriers to effective supervision are highlighted including the emphasis supervisors often place on administrative roles, rather than clinical duties and the infrequency of counseling supervision offered to experienced rehabilitation counselors as opposed to novice rehabilitation counselors. Recommendations for effective counseling supervision that address the needs of counselors and supervisors are also included.

Abstract:

Purpose: This article includes a study that sheds light on the implications of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA) mandated VR knowledge and skills requirements for VR counselors in the state VR program. It is also a commentary on current training, accreditation and intraprofessional challenges in the larger counseling field. Our study investigated VR directors’ perceptions of the importance and counselor preparedness in specific WIOA mandated knowledge areas. Findings revealed that VR directors consider WIOA mandated knowledge areas (e.g., employment-related and case management) to be very important, and they see room for improvement in the preparation of VR counselors to execute these functions. Our commentary provides readers with information related rehabilitation counseling history, intraprofessional practice, and guidelines for the future of rehabilitation counseling and the larger counseling profession.

Abstract:

People with trauma histories make up a significant portion of the population. Individuals may develop trauma-related disabilities as a result of exposure to adverse life events such as violence, war, child abuse, or natural disasters. Likewise, people with pre-existing disabilities may be at risk of developing secondary trauma-related disabilities. The likelihood that rehabilitation counselors will provide services to individuals with trauma histories is high; therefore, the purposes of this literature review are to: (a) define trauma and explore its physiological, emotional, and behavioral effects on trauma survivors; (b) define trauma-informed care and explore its basic principles; and (c) introduce concepts and strategies to implement as part of trauma-informed rehabilitation counseling.

Abstract:

The Internet is a rapidly growing communication resource that is becoming mainstream in the American society. To better serve our clients, rehabilitation counselors need to understand the many aspects of the Internet and begin to explore its uses in rehabilitation counseling. The purpose of this article was to initiate a discussion regarding the impact of the Internet on rehabilitation counseling services. The current use of the Internet in counseling practices was reviewed. The relationship between the Internet usage and the empowerment of people with disabilities was explored, the roles of rehabilitation counselors in regard to the computer-mediated communication (CMC) via the Internet were outlined, and ethical and professional development-related issues concerning possible applications of CMC via the Internet for rehabilitation counseling services were discussed. CMC via the Internet may be offered as an adjunct to traditional face to face rehabilitation services. Professional organizations such as the National Rehabilitation Counseling Association (NRCA) and the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) should develop professional standards and ethical codes to guide such services before we fully embrace the technique.

Abstract:

Depression, whether it be in the form of major depressive disorder or a less severe depressive state, presents a unique set of problems and challenges to the rehabilitation counselor. In combination with a separate disabling condition, depression can make an already challenging rehabilitation situation even more complex. Along with variety in the degree and presentation of depression, there are almost constant developments in the treatment of depression, making it difficult for counselors to maintain a level of educational and counseling competency. This primer is an attempt to clarify and simplify the role of the rehabilitation counselor working with clients who are experiencing and being treated for depression. Presented within it are the diagnostic considerations, current pharmacological treatments, and counseling concerns related to working with clients with depression in a rehabilitation setting.

We reviewed 11 well-recognized counseling theories, seeking those that best fit requirements of rehabilitation counselors and clients. We looked specifically for methods that were goal-oriented, supported counselor-client collaboration, and were person-centered, brief, and evidence based. Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) fit our criteria on four of five dimensions. We describe these two counseling modalities and illustrate techniques, using hypothetical examples from rehabilitation counseling contexts, and provide specific recommendations for rehabilitation educators.

Abstract:

The skillset required to be an effective rehabilitation counselor has become increasingly more complex in previous decades. To meet this demand, rehabilitation counselors (RCs) must establish requisite skills for translating empirically-based methods into clinical application. In the 21st century, there are several specific topic areas in which rehabilitation counselors should be adept. These include the use of a dual customer approach, provision of culturally responsive services to minority populations, provision of services for individuals with severe physical disabilities, familiarity with pertinent legislation at the state and federal level, and an understanding of emerging technology that can assist individuals with disabilities in the workplace. Competency in these areas must come from fieldwork or other applied opportunities, in addition to postsecondary coursework. This article will provide an in-depth look at each topic area.

Abstract:

Rehabilitation counselors are trained to consider the needs of the “whole person” when providing services to individuals with disabilities. Often, clients will look to their counselors for help with dealing with issues of sexuality and socialization. Rehabilitation counselors can be especially helpful to their clientele if they use their disability-related knowledge and rehabilitation counseling skills in conjunction with PLISSIT, a basic model of sexuali counseling useful with individuals with disabilities.

Abstract:

There is currently a recognized trend in the provision of vocational rehabilitation services toward more direct client involvement in rehabilitation planning and services. As a result of this trend there is a need for specific and practical counseling approaches for increasing client participation in the rehabilitation process. Further, counselors often encounter clients who, for various reasons, do not have a vocational or rehabilitation goal in mind. In these instances, it can be challenging for counselors to balance guiding the client's goal development with client autonomy. This paper presents a framework for assessing and understanding clients, and for helping with goal setting and decision making. The assessment utilizes the Adlerian constructs of lifestyle and the life tasks to help the client and counselor work together to develop successful rehabilitation plans.

Abstract:

Controversy exists within the field of rehabilitation counseling regarding the relative merits of public versus private forms of rehabilitation delivery systems. Although several writers have speculated that differences exist in the quality of service provided, few have offered experimental data to support their suspicions. This study tests the hypotheses that there is no difference in the ability of a group of public and a group of private rehabilitation counselors to communicate facilitative counseling skills. Thirteen private and nineteen public rehabilitation counselors were tested at completion of practicum and retested an average of 9 years later on the Truax and Carkhuff facilitative counseling scales. Statistical analysis indicated that the counselors in the private sector were able to communicate significantly higher facilitative counseling skills at retest than were public sector rehabilitation counselors. Implications for the profession and suggestions for further research are discussed.

Abstract:

The majority of rehabilitation counselors practicing today specialize. They specialize in working with individuals with a particular type of disability, in some specific aspect of the rehabilitation process, or in a specialized rehabilitation-related work setting. This growth of specialization, and a concurrent lack of adaptation by the professional rehabilitation counseling organizations, has resulted in fragmentation and splintering of the rehabilitation counseling profession. Suggestions for unifying the rehabilitation counseling profession are presented.

Abstract:

Within the rehabilitation counseling arena, professional disclosure and informed consent are critical concepts for the rehabilitation counselor to understand. Once understood, they become key components of a rehabilitation counselor's daily practice. Counselors need to provide sufficient prior information about their evaluation and services to respect the individual's right to make an informed choice about participating in the activities. This is one of the most important steps for the counselor to make at the outset of the relationship and thereafter. Yet, inconsistency abounds among rehabilitation counselors when it comes to providing a full and adequate disclosure, thereby ensuring the individual's right to informed consent. This article addresses the history of these issues, the manner by which earlier versions of the Code of Professional Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors addressed them, and the changes regarding disclosure and informed consent within the revised 2010 code. Because the code now requires written disclosure, this article provides guidance to rehabilitation counselors for incorporating proper professional disclosure and informed consent protocols into their daily professional activities.

Abstract:

As the prevalence of individuals with AIDS or who are HN+ increases, and medical treatment extends both life and active functioning, the expectations and responsibilities of rehabilitation counselors to provide services to this group are likely to increase. In order to assess the attitudes of rehabilitation counselors toward working with persons with these problems, a random sample of 500 CRCs was mailed questionnaires regarding counselor attitudes towards providing certain services to clients with AIDS. The study also investigated the perceived relative difficulty of working with clients with AIDS. It was found that 73% of counselors reported being “comfortable” or “neutral” with personal and vocational counseling, but 52% of the respondents were “uncomfortable” contacting employers related to employment for this disability group. Of 13 conditions rated, it was found that counselors believed that clients with AIDS would encounter the greatest difficulty obtaining employment. The potential for counselor stress related to working with new and complex issues in counseling and placement is discussed.

Abstract:

The generic profession of counseling is emerging as a separate and distinct mental health profession. Rehabilitation counseling is providing a scholarly model that could be adopted by professional counselors to establish a knowledge base for the generic counseling profession. But before exploring this idea further, I think the articles in this issue demand that the relationship between professional counseling and rehabilitation counseling be discussed.

Abstract:

Rehabilitation counselors may encounter clients who are struggling with previously unresolved grief reactions to death and to losses associated with disability. These reactions may impede any potential therapeutic progress for such persons. The symptoms characterizing normal and pathological grief may be multiple and varied. Clues for the differential identification of these two grieving patterns are described, implications for practice are made, and resources for referral are suggested.

Abstract:

Provisions to promote work for Uruguayans with disabilities have been included in many Uruguayan national laws (e.g., Law 16095, Law 18651), however, their participation in the labor force remains low. This paper introduces current demographic data on people with disabilities, as well as key aspects of Uruguayan society, such as prevalent attitudes towards people with disabilities. In addition, a brief overview of social security benefits and disability services is presented, followed by a description of current policy and major pieces of legislation that affect employment of people with disabilities in that country. Finally, selected public and private initiatives to foster employment opportunities for Uruguayans with disabilities, such as the Work Training program for people with disabilities (Programa de Capacitaciόn Laboral para personas con discapacidad or PROCLADIS) and the Target Employment program (“Objetivo Empleo), are presented in detail and discussed. Implications for rehabilitation counselors and practitioners are provided. The pursuit of full employment for people with disabilities remains a challenge in Uruguay, however, recent policy initiatives are auspicious.

Abstract:

The Revised Code of Professional Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors represents a milestone in consumer protections for the profession. By placing the counseling relationship at the apex of the code, CRCC has clearly indicated that the business of the rehabilitation counselor is to work in the best interest of the consumer. Consumers who are new to the systems of rehabilitation counseling service and who are not yet aware of the code may not know the significance of the code in directing the practice of rehabilitation counseling, although they most certainly will benefit from it. Informed consumers will find increased protections and a grievance system that will provide recourse for ethical complaints. The code will be most effectively used if consumers and the general public are informed of the code's purpose and content.

Abstract:

Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are being developed in all types of organizations. This development is seen as a valuable opportunity for employment of rehabilitation counselors. A rationale which suggests that rehabilitation counseling training is appropriate for EAP work is presented. Employee assistance programs are described as following three models: (a) the In-house model, (b) the Consortium model, and (c) the Trained agent model. The functioning of a rehabilitation counselor under each is described. Organizational demands on a counselor working in an EAP in a profitoriented organization also are discussed. A brief discussion which explains how rehabilitation counseling training programs can be modified to develop a specialty in EAP work is presented. Considerations which potential EAP counselors should weigh before planning to enter EAP work are discussed. Finally, resources for learning more about EAPs are identified.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to examine the results of the certified rehabilitation counselor (CRC) knowledge validation study conducted in collaboration with the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC). The research design for the present study includes both descriptive and ex post facto approaches. Three hundred ninety-four CRCs completed the Knowledge Validation Inventory–Revised (KVI-R) survey. Factor analysis results revealed six knowledge domains: (a) rehabilitation and mental health counseling, (b) employer engagement and job placement, (c) case management, (d) medical and psychosocial aspects of chronic illness and disability, (e) research methodology and evidence-based practice, and (f) group and family counseling. The findings of this study provide important information for CRCC to examine and develop test and item specifications that will guide future versions of the CRC examination. The findings also inform the description of the knowledge base underlying the practice of rehabilitation counseling and contribute further empirical evidence regarding the knowledge domains identified in this replication and extension of the previous study completed in 2012.

Abstract:

This study examines 137 state vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselors' perceptions of the value of having the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) credential. While almost 53% of this sample included persons who were certified, the majority who were not indicated that the two major reasons for not currently having this designation were: (a) it was not required to be employed as a state VR counselor and (b) they planned to get it. In terms of perceived encouragement by master's degree program faculty to pursue the CRC credential, results reveal that for this group of vocational rehabilitation counselors, this influence did not have a substantial impact on CRC obtainment. Implications for the rehabilitation counseling field/education are discussed.
