Teaching the History of Counseling: Training the Next Generation

The authors describe a teaching activity using a poster‐session format to teach first‐year counseling psychology doctoral students the history of counseling. Evaluative data suggest that the format was an effective and powerful tool to teach beginning counseling psychology students the history of the profession. The implications of the evaluative feedback are discussed in terms of teaching and preparing the next generation of counselors. 1995 American Counseling Association
