Counseling Profession

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.

Counseling Model

The problems faced by social minorities are fundamentally different and appear to require new ameliorative strategies. We have asked whether rehabilitation technologies developed for the physically and psychologically impaired are appropriately transferable to the socially disadvantaged. To answer this question we have examined the traditional counseling model and the disjuncture between rehabilitation technology and the problems of the socially disadvantaged. Some dimensions of an alternative model have been suggested. The kinds of strategies that appear to be most appropriate, however, underscore the uncertain relationship between the future of rehabilitation counseling (and the rehabilitation movement in general) and minority poverty. If counselors are to have an impact on the expansion and structure of helping arrangements in the disadvantaged community, basic decisions must be made concerning the objects and direction of change at both the individual and societal levels; the kinds of facilities and programs that need to be developed; the necessary and legitimate mechanisms for producing change and whether the rehabilitation counselor can and should function as a change agent in such communities. These decisions will cause discord within the rehabilitation movement, challenge its solidarity, and perhaps bring the movement into conflict with powerful sectors of the Society.

Group Members

At the Jewish Guild for the Blind in New York City, a social caseworker and a rehabilitation counselor co-led a group of eight visually impaired clients who were in various stages of the rehabilitation process. By combining the disciplines of casework and rehabilitation counseling, these professionals hoped to assist these clients in establishing, or reestablishing, their independence and sense of purpose. These goals were achieved to varying degrees by six of the eight group members.

This study investigated the use of placement specialists by Vocational Rehabihtation and State Blind agencies. Minimum educational requirements and salary ranges for counselors and placement specialists were also surveyed for comparison purposes.The ,data were collected through a questionnaire, which was sent to all the State Vocational Rehabilitation and State Blind agencies. The results indicate that almost sixty percent (60%) of the surveyed agencies used placement specialists at either a local, regional, or state level. The functions performed by the placement specialist at the three levels are reported.The increase in the use of placement specialists may have a future effect on the rehabilitation counseling profession. The study suggests the opening of new employment opportunities for the rehabilitation counselor and the challenge for new placement-oriented curricula for the rehabilitation counselor training programs.

Clients who identify as both a person with a disability and a member of the LGBTQ+ community (LGBTQxPWD) present with their own unique worldviews and subsequent needs when seeking Rehabilitation Counseling. It remains the ethical and professional responsibility of the Rehabilitation Counselor to engage in practices which not only further their understanding of the sociopolitical and individual environments which impact these clients, but also to engage in ongoing personal and professional development to ensure that the ethical principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence, as well as the charge to cultural competence, are upheld. In the fall of 2019, the National Rehabilitation Counseling Association held a symposium on social justice concerns in the field of Rehabilitation Counseling. There, the need for an LGBTQ+ repository was identified. This resource would allow for Rehabilitation Counselors/educators to obtain information pertaining to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community and the many other intersecting identities that may also present by a given client. The aim of this article is to examine existing research pertaining to those who identify as LGBTQxPWD, identify gaps in the literature regarding needs of the LGBTQ+ and Disability communities, respectively, and to propose action steps where those in the field of Rehabilitation Counseling and other allied health professions can aid in furthering the social justice movement of this group.

Scandinavian Literature

Eddic poetry constitutes one of the most important genres in Old Norse or Scandinavian literature and has been studied since the earliest time of modern-day philology. The progress we have made in that field is impressive, considering the many excellent editions and translations, not to mention the countless critical studies in monographs and articles. Nevertheless, there is always a great need to revisit, to summarize, to review, and to digest the knowledge gained so far. The present handbook intends to address all those goals and does so, to spell it out right away, exceedingly well. But in contrast to traditional concepts, the individual contributions constitute fully developed critical article, each with a specialized topic elucidating it as comprehensively as possible, and concluding with a section of notes. Those are kept very brief, but the volume rounds it all off with an inclusive, comprehensive bibliography. And there is also a very useful index at the end. At the beginning, we find, following the table of contents, a list of the contributors, unfortunately without emails, a list of translations and abbreviations of the titles of Eddic poems in the Codex Regius and then elsewhere, and a very insightful and pleasant introduction by Carolyne Larrington. She briefly introduces the genre and then summarizes the essential points made by the individual authors. The entire volume is based on the Eddic Network established by the three editors in 2012, and on two workshops held at St. John’s College, Oxford in 2013 and 2014.

The Impact

Based on an analysis of the marginal markings and annotations Nietzsche made to the works of Emerson in his personal library, the book offers a philosophical interpretation of the impact on Nietzsche’s thought of his reading of these works, a reading that began when he was a schoolboy and extended to the final years of his conscious life. The many ideas and sources of inspiration that Nietzsche drew from Emerson can be organized in terms of two main lines of thought. The first line leads in the direction of the development of the individual personality, that is, the achievement of critical thinking, moral autonomy, and original self-expression. The second line of thought is the overcoming of individuality: that is to say, the need to transcend one’s own individual—and thus by definition limited—view of the world by continually confronting and engaging with visions different from one’s own and by putting into question and debating one’s own values and certainties. The image of the strong personality that Nietzsche forms thanks to his reading of Emerson ultimately takes on the appearance of a nomadic subject who is continually passing out of themselves—that is to say, abandoning their own positions and convictions—so as to undergo a constant process of evolution. In other words, the formation of the individual personality takes on the form of a regulative ideal: a goal that can never be said to have been definitively and once and for all attained.

Trapped Bosons

We address the interplay of few lattice trapped bosons interacting with an impurity atom in a box potential. For the ground state, a classification is performed based on the fidelity allowing to quantify the susceptibility of the composite system to structural changes due to the intercomponent coupling. We analyze the overall response at the many-body level and contrast it to the single-particle level. By inspecting different entropy measures we capture the degree of entanglement and intraspecies correlations for a wide range of intra- and intercomponent interactions and lattice depths. We also spatially resolve the imprint of the entanglement on the one- and two-body density distributions showcasing that it accelerates the phase separation process or acts against spatial localization for repulsive and attractive intercomponent interactions, respectively. The many-body effects on the tunneling dynamics of the individual components, resulting from their counterflow, are also discussed. The tunneling period of the impurity is very sensitive to the value of the impurity-medium coupling due to its effective dressing by the few-body medium. Our work provides implications for engineering localized structures in correlated impurity settings using species selective optical potentials.
