“…Boyd and Walter (1975), for example, compared the school counselor to a cactus, saying that, by necessity, both must grow and thrive with the minimal amount of "nutrients" (p. 103). Since the 1970s many other authors have expressed similar concerns about the almost nonexistent supervision of school counselors (American Association of Counseling and Development Task Force, 1989;Barret & Schmidt, 1986;Borders, 1991a;Borders & Schmidt, 1992;Schmidt, 1990;Schmidt & Barret, 1983;Wilson & Remley, 1987). In fact, what is called supervision for school counselors is most often administrative oversight being supplied by school principals (American Association of Counseling and Development Task Force, 1989;Borders & Drury, 1992;Roberts & Borders, 1994;Schmidt & Barret, 1983;Wilson & Remley, 1987), as illustrated by two recent surveys.…”
