Abstract
This article reports the results of the 1985 survey of the Council of Counseling Psychology Training Programs that analyzed responses received from 49 of 59 training directors (83%o) of doctoral counseling psychology programs. The survey requested information about five major areas: admissions and financial assistance, practica and internships, job placements, program faculty and administration, and issues affecting training. Whenever possible, comparisons were made with 1982-1984 Council survey data. Among the findings were (1) women outnumber men in training programs, but there are more men graduating; (2) college counseling centers are by far the most popular practicum training sites, whereas Veterans Administration hospitals and college counseling centers are the most popular internship sites; (3) there appears to be a continued increase in initial employment in community mental health and private practice, as well as differential employment patterns by gender; and (4) unresolved issues, such as professional identity, continue to be perceived by program directors as impacting training.Keywords
