To gain professional stature, rehabilitation counselors (RCs) have promoted the viewpoint that rehabilitation counseling is unique and different from generic counseling. The research literature reflects a concomitant trend in the continuous erosion over the past 15 years of the counseling function. The necessity of a re-emphasis on counseling is presented along with a review of the literature on basic considerations in counseling, career counseling, and psychosocial counseling. Finally, a call is made for renewed emphasis on the core of the rehabilitation process-counseling.

Se realiza una síntesis analítica de las principales líneas de trabajo que se han gestado en los últimos 25 años sobre el cine y el aprendizaje de la historia. Se revisa la literatura desde una perspectiva histórica mediante el uso de bases de datos, organizando las salidas en tres categorías. En la primera categoría, historia y cine, se agrupan las investigaciones relacionadas con la aceptación del cine como fuente histórica y como testimonio de una época. Una segunda categoría concentra los trabajos sobre historia, cine y educación, englobando las siguientes temáticas: cine y currículum escolar; cine de ficción y no ficción y cine como constructor de identidades. La tercera categoría se focaliza en el uso del cine en el aula de historia considerando aspectos didácticos relevantes. Los resultados demuestran que las recientes investigaciones reivindican el cine como instrumento de análisis y reflexión sobre el pasado como otra fuente histórica más, así como vía para fomentar el análisis crítico y empático propios de la competencia ciudadana. Del mismo modo, existe una tendencia que defiende la inclusión de la educación mediática y la alfabetización cinematográfica dentro de la educación formal y la formación inicial y permanente de todos los docentes. The aim of the paper consists on an analytical synthesis of the main lines of research that have been developed in the last 25 years on the teaching of history with films. A systematic review of the literature inside databases from a historical perspective has been the followed methodology. The analysis has been structured in three categories. The first one, called history and cinema, evidences the existence of a research line focused on the acceptance of cinema as a historical source and also as witness of an Era. The second one relates history, films and education, and three more lines emerge from it: films and curriculum; fiction and non-fiction films, and using films as a constructor of identities. The third and last category is based on the use of films in the History classroom attending on methodological relevant aspects. The core results of the analysis point at two complementary directions. First, the vindication of films as a tool of analysis and reflection on the past as a historical source. Second, the acceptance of films as an instrument to promote critical and empathetic analysis of citizenship competence. Similarly, there is a trend that advocates the inclusion of media education and film literacy within formal education and the initial and ongoing training of all teachers.

Although there has been an array of advances in rehabilitation within the past few years, rehabilitation counseling is presently in critical condition. Little objective evidence is available to indicate that intensive one-to-one or group counseling is well accepted in the rehabilitation process. This article maintains that counseling is not emphasized within the State-Federal system, and advocates putting the counselor back in rehabilitation since he is the vehicle by which rehabilitation advances are converted into rehabilitants. It is people who make the difference in other people, and the counselor is the person with whom the client associates. The continued dissipation of time spent counseling may one day see the State-Federal program as little more than a funding service for disabled individuals.

The purpose of the study was to identify the core knowledge and skill based competencies which State Vocational Rehabilitation counselors, supervisors, and administrators thought would best prepare professional VR counselors for practice in State Divisions of Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies in HEW Region VIII. A non-random sample of 243 VR counselors, 44 VR supervisors, and 68 administrators responded to a forced choice survey of questionnaire which contained 11 major competency categories and 128 subject items. The respondents generally agreed that all of the major competency categories were important. Also, the results of the study indicated that Vocational Rehabilitation counseling is based upon an interdisciplinary core of knowledge and skill based competencies. A continuum model of education including undergraduate, graduate, and in-service training is required to be competent at the professional level. Furthermore, the findings indicated that government rehabilitation agencies and vocational rehabilitation counselor education programs can best prepare manpower through joint training efforts.

The multiple impacts of HIV/AIDS as a disability were examined. Six specific impacts, including social, psychological, spiritual, medical, financial, and vocational were found to have the greatest effects on people who have HIV/AIDS. A review of the literature found that these impacts differed across four population groups; 1) people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, 2) people who use intravenous drugs, 3) women, and 4) people with hemophilia. Specific social and psychological impacts were highlighted for each population group. Implications for rehabilitation counseling practice were discussed. An interview with an individual who has HIV/AIDS and hemophilia was completed to qualify a theoretical-based literature review, to enhance the reader's understanding of the multiple impacts of HIV/AIDS, and to illuminate an experience with disability. Particular interview comments are not highlighted, but interwoven in the text, to insure confidentiality.
