This article introduces a special issue of The Counseling Psychologist on the increasing involvement of counseling psychologists in neuropsychology. The rationale for this special issue is based on the dual premises that preparing counseling psychologists in neuropsychology is consistent with the historical emphases of the specialty and that changing professional responsibilities require the acquisition of new knowledge and skills to enable counseling psychologists to continue their involvement in traditional settings and clinical activities. The experience of counseling psychologists actively involved in providing neuropsychological services within traditional counseling psychology employment settings and clinical actvities leads them to argue that to meet changing professional responsibilities and expectations counseling psychologists need to develop minimal competency in neuropsychology.

Computers and other communication technologies have irrevocably changed the nature of work, the workforce, and interpersonal relationships. This article suggests that these changes have resulted in a blurring of the distinction between life roles and an increase in feelings of meaningless and isolation. The authors argue that the dissolution of boundaries between life roles and the emotional sequelae of the digitization of our culture support a paradigm that reintegrates counseling and vocational psychology. Future counseling psychologists will be better equipped to provide services to clients whose lives are enriched and complicated by technology only if counseling psychology educators are able to provide them with the knowledge and skills to do so.

A national survey of 800 members of Division 17 (Counseling Psychology) was conducted to assess attitudes about selected work sites and professional activities for counseling psychologists. Survey items were written to represent worksites and activities that have been traditionally associated with either counseling or clinical psychology. Responses to the survey were analyzed through an oblique rotation principle components analysis of survey items, the assignment of standardized scores to respondents' data, and the subsequent cluster analysis of standardized scores. Based on responses to the attitude survey items three subgroups of respondents emerged, which were named Clinical Counseling Psychologists, Central Counseling Psychologists, and Traditional Counseling Psychologists. These subgroups are described and the implications of their existence within Division 17 are discussed.

In this article, we introduce the special issue of The Counseling Psychologist on the integration of practice, advocacy, and research in counseling psychology. This special issue was driven by Dr. Shavonne Moore-Lobban’s project as a member of the Society for Counseling Psychology Leadership Collaborative. The aim of the special issue is to highlight the unique practice, advocacy, and research contributions of practitioners, and specifically focus on the integration of the three roles of everyday counseling psychologists. There are six practitioner-led manuscripts that strengthen a focus within counseling psychology of the integration across the three roles, and through the diverse lens of counseling psychologists as therapists, supervisors, educators, researchers, program developers, and advocates. The development of this special issue is reviewed. We provide a brief summary of the manuscripts and discuss implications for continued integration.

Growing contact between counseling psychology and neuropsychology occurs in hospital settings where it is stimulating an integration of neuropsychological knowledge and skills into the counseling process. The role possibilities for counseling psychologists have also been expanded by this contact. An example of such interchange occurs in a rehabilitation unit or hospital where the psychologist has significant responsibilities for helping patients, families, and staff to understand the implications of central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction and to adapt to the resulting changes. Issues arising from this form of practice are discussed and examples from patient care are provided.

While counseling psychologists made substantial proposals to advance qualitative research since the special issue on related-methods was published 15-years ago (Haverkamp et al., 2005), the field continues to demonstrate an overreliance on quantitative methods. Though important for producing knowledge we can depend on, excessive use of these methods poses a barrier for counseling psychologists to address the needs of the communities that are at the core of our discipline’s values – those who are marginalized and underserved in society. In alignment with our values of social justice, advocacy, and empowerment, we propose counseling psychologists adopt a methodology within a critical paradigm to better address issues of inequality and inequity when working with underrepresented communities, such as digital storytelling. Rooted in a movement to increase access to art for marginalized communities in the 1970s and 80s, digital storytelling is an arts-based research methodology that captures first-person narrated accounts of peoples’ lives through the use of stories, photos, and videos, and empowers communities to be a part of research to create social change. We provide recommendations for using digital storytelling in counseling psychology research as outlined through five phases, including 1) digital storytelling’s critical paradigm, 2) project development, 3) implementation, 4) data analysis, and 5) dissemination. While doing so, we draw on examples from two digital storytelling projects we are familiar with, Immigrant Stories and OrigiNatives, providing a framework for a digital frontier in counseling psychology research.

Psychologists are increasingly represented among interprofessional health care teams, yet little is known about counseling psychologists who fulfill these roles. We interviewed 13 early career counseling psychologists in different settings across the country about their roles and functions, the nature of their relationships with other health professionals, and counseling psychology identity and values. Results showed that counseling psychologists perform a variety of duties by adapting their counseling psychology training to medical settings, and that they find this work both challenging and rewarding. Participants incorporated traditional counseling psychology pillars of prevention, diversity, social justice, and strength-based interventions to make contributions to patient and community care in integrated health care settings. Implications for training and future research are discussed.

The ascendance of large-scale disasters, catastrophes, and traumas as a concentrated focus of academic inquiry in counseling psychology is timely, and this special issue and subsequent investigations represent welcome areas of scholarship. The observations and comments herein salute the authors for responding to a post-Katrina discovery by counseling psychology of the heretofore localized and less than systematic responses to large-scale disasters, catastrophes, and traumas. Extensions to and invited elaborations on the collective observations of this team of authors are offered for consideration. This article also doubles as an invitation to counseling psychologists to put into action programs, procedures, policies, and political advocacy aimed at tapping and sustaining the hope and resilience of national and international communities forced to reconcile sudden and life-changing devastation.

This article represents the conclusion of our special two-part issue of The Counseling Psychologist focused on leadership in counseling psychology. In this article, we reflect upon the state of leadership in counseling psychology as captured in the articles in this special issue. First, we explain the concept of a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world and why it is important to considerations of leadership by counseling psychologists. Next, we comment on each of the articles that comprise this two-part special issue, noting their strengths, relevance to current knowledge about and concepts of leadership, and questions that remain unanswered and thus ripe for further study. We conclude with recommendations for leadership-related efforts in counseling psychology as a field. It is our hope that this brief critique provides directions for future study and action regarding leadership in counseling psychology.

The mainstreaming of White nationalism in the United States and worldwide suggests an urgent need for counseling psychologists to take stock of what tools they have (and do not have) to combat White supremacy. We review the rise of social justice issues in the field of counseling psychology and allied helping professions and point to the limits of existing paradigms to address the challenge of White supremacy. We introduce transnationalism as an important theoretical perspective with which to conceptualize global racisms, and identify White racial affect, intersectionality, and allyship as three key domains of antiracist action research. Finally, we suggest three steps for sharpening counseling psychologists’ approaches to social justice: rejecting racial progress narratives, engaging in social justice-oriented practice with White clients, and centering White supremacy as a key problem for the field of counseling psychology and allied helping professions.
