“…Kahnweiler (1979) has suggested that many counselors may not assume consultation duties because they "have received little formal training in consultation skills" (p. 378). Similarly, while the ACES standards for counselor preparation (1977,1978) specified that consultation be included in both masters and doctoral level counselor education programs, several authors (Adkins, 1977;Dinkmeyer & Carlson, 1977;Moracco, 1977) have asserted that counselor education programs have neglected the teaching of consultation skills. This paper reports the results of a study conducted to assess the extent and nature of consultation training offered to students in United States counselor education programs.…”

A survey was devised to obtain feedback from counselor educators throughout the country regarding the teaching of consultation skills in their master's degree programs. This survey was mailed to 410 counselor education departments, with the request that the faculty member most closely associated with teaching consultation at the master's level respond. Usable survey forms were returned by 144 programs. A phone follow-up survey of selected nonrespondents substantiated the indicated findings. Reported survey results indicate the extent to which counselor education programs include training in consultation skills, the number of students involved, and the emphasis placed on various consultation skills.

“…As a final note on these materials related to contracting, implications for use are suggested. As Moracco (1977) has pointed out, role play, simulation, and case studies are all useful techniques in teaching consultation skills. To carry that observation further, the use of contracts is recommended as a way to emphasize pivotal points in case studies.…”

“…Conyne (1977) has suggested an ecological orientation and has set guidelines for a consultation function that is based on environmental assessment. Other authors have offered general methods of developing competency in consultants (Dinkmeyer & Carlson, 1977); general steps recommended in training for consultation skills (Gallessich & Ladogana, 1978); and implications for training procedures including role play, simulation, and case study methods in the context of a practicum experience (Moracco, 1977). Although these contributions have been helpful in defining guidelines related to the consultant's role, they tend to be quite broad and lack the specific detail that is needed for training modules.…”

Proposals for expansion of the role of the counselor to that of behavioral scientist, deliverer of indirect service, and consultant are cited as precedents for this discussion. The need for training materials related to specific consulting skills is suggested. Contracting, a specific skill component of consultation, is operationally defined. Guidelines for conceptualizing contracts along with case examples are offered as a basis for training modules for counselor education courses in consultation.

“…Counselor educators frequently call for an increase in the extent of counselor training. In some cases, the call is for more extensive training in traditional curriculum areas, but more often it is for the addition of specialized training to address contemporary concerns such as broadening the role of counselors from direct to indirect services like consultation (e.g., Dinkmeyer & Carlson, 1977;Moracco, 1977), refocusing counselors' efforts from remediation to primary prevention (e.g., Lewis & Lewis, 1981), or requiring counselors to attain skills in program administration and grantsmanship (e.g., Griffith, 1980;Gysbers, 1972).…”
