“…Based on a national survey of professional counselors, E. W. Kelly (1995) summarized the typical profile of counselor values as an overall content pattern that generally reflects a strong core valuing of holistichumanistic empowerment related to personal development and interpersonal or social concern. This portrait is similar to that of other mental health professionals (Haugen, Tyler, & Clark, 1991;Jensen & Bergin, 1988).…”

The authors surveyed the universal and mental health values of 121 Muslims in the United States and their counseling preferences. The respondents were generally well educated and highly religious. They responded high in the universal values of benevolence and conformity; low in power, hedonism, and stimulation; and high in many humanistic mental health values. A comparison with typical counselor values showed both similarities and differences. A substantial minority indicated a willingness to go to a non‐Muslim counselor but most would want a counselor with an understanding of Islam. Implications for counseling practice and future research are discussed.

“…Knowledge in this area intends to facilitate counselor self-awareness and sensitivity to the value systems of clients (Corey & Corey, 2003). Counselor value orientations and worldviews have become prominent topics in multicultural counseling and pedagogy (e.g., Henriksen & Trusty, 2005), the therapeutic relationship (e.g., Mitchell, 1993), the mental health values of therapists (e.g., Haugen, Tyler, & Clark, 1991), and religious and spiritual counseling (e.g., Hinterkopf, 1994). Nevertheless, we were unable to find empirical studies that enriched the dialogue on the value orientations of entry-level counselor trainees in the journals of the American Counseling Association (ACA).…”

This national web-based study used the Schwartz Value Survey (Schwartz, 1994) and Super's Work Values Inventory-Revised (Zytowski, n.d.) to identify general life and work value orientations of 674 female and male entry-level counselor trainees residing in 27 states. In general, trainees emphasized benevolence, self-direction, and achievement and the work values lifestyle, supervision, and achievement. Significant multivariate and univariate differences for age, gender, and program of study were found on both value domains. The sample of practicing counselors scored significantly higher on several values than did trainees. Implications for how students construe values to develop toward their professional role of counselor are considered.Counselor educators generally agree that counselor trainees become aware of their values and recognize the effect of their value systems on the therapeutic relationship. Although scholars have explicated the typical motivations and needs of helping professionals (e.g., Corey & Corey, 2003;Henriksen & Trusty, 2005), value orientations of entrylevel counselor trainees have rarely been discussed for how they can help trainees prepare for the role of counselor. Consequently, empirical studies of the value orientations of counselor trainees remain sparse in the counselor education literature. Awareness of one's value orientations becomes salient as students question their self-concepts and the personal characteristics needed for the work of counseling (Ronnestad & Skovholt, 2003). A profile of counselor trainees' value preferences, therefore, may expand discourse on the function of values as a viable component of counselor preparation. We begin with a description of values in general followed by life and work values in particular. A review of the literature regarding the role of values during counselor preparation is followed by an empirical investigation of the general life and work value orientations of counselor trainees. We conclude with a discussion of the importance of value orientations in the development of master's-level counselor trainees.

“…2. Mental health values: Studies of mental health values of various mental health professionals have shown a generally strong consensus across a broad range of values (Jensen & Bergin, 1988;Haughen, Tyler, & Clark, 1991). It is noteworthy that neither Jensen and Bergin (1988) nor Haughen et al (1991) included professional counselors among the mental health professionals they surveyed resulting in a serious information gap about a major mental health professional group.…”

“…Religious-spiritual values: Religion and spirituality are receiving renewed attention in counseling (Bergin, 1991;Bergin & Jensen, 1990;Ellis, 1989;Gibson & Herron, 1990;Gormally, 1990; E. W. Kelly, 1995;Shafranske & Malony, 1990;Worthington, 1989). Although research presents a mixed picture of the religious and spiritual values of mental health professionals (Haughen et al, 1991;Jensen & Bergin, 1988), a consensus emerges when these values are construed more broadly as spiritual or existential than as specifically religious (Bergin & Jensen, 1990;Shafranske & Malony, 1990). Evidence is also mixed about process and outcome effects of counselor-client similarity in this values area (Beutler & Bergan, 1990;T.…”

A national sample (n = 479) of counselors representative of the 1993 American Counseling Association membership was surveyed regarding their value orientations in four domains: universal values, mental health values, individualistic‐collectivistic values, and religious‐spiritual values. Results yielded a multifaceted, generally concordant (although by no means unanimous) value profile for professional counselors across these value domains, presenting an overall content pattern that might be globally summarized as a strong core valuing of holistic‐humanistic empowerment related to personal development and interpersonal and social concern. Implications for counseling practice, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
