Tensions in Training Counsellors?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Medicalizing Counselling

  • 564 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter draws from surveys and interviews with students, counsellor educators, and others with a stake in counsellors’ professional education. It also highlights debates in the professional and research literatures regarding the future of counselling and the future of counsellor education. Specifically, the chapter identifies how medicalizing tensions arise and are reconciled (or not) in students’ learning experiences and counsellor educators’ instructional and supervisory experiences. The aim of this chapter is to highlight how these tensions feature in academic settings, particularly given that it is in academic settings where “freedom of thought” regarding professional ideas and practices is most possible.
