Number Of Authors

This brief study tested the generality of Zook's 1987 conclusion that the trend toward increasing numbers of authors per article had leveled off in the Journal of Counseling Psychology. The number of authors per article per year in four journals representing four professional organizations (American Psychological Association, National Association of School Psychologists, American Counseling Association, and American Medical Association) were counted and compared for an 11-yr. period (1982–1992). Statistically significant differences were found between disciplines based on the number of authors per article, with the medical journal having a greater number of articles with four or more coauthors. The average number of authors credited for an article was stable for all four journals.

Chapter 1 provides a formal definition of counseling psychology, citing various though similar definitions that are found on the Web sites of professional organizations, including the Society of Counseling Psychology (Division 17 of the American Psychological Association) and the American Board of Counseling Psychology (the certifying board for counseling psychologists in the United States and Canada). It also offers five unifying themes whose interplay and complementary nature distinguish counseling psychology from other psychological specialties, the uniqueness of counseling psychology, a brief history of the specialty, the culture of competence, and the founding of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP).
