The Counseling Center Internship in Higher Education

Abstract

The full-year internship is developing into an important issue and the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision has recommended that it be included in future doctoral level training. Candidates interested in a university placement, however, will find little information available.A survey was conducted to determine the (a) location of positions, (b) required credentials, (c) methods of announcement, and (d) reaction to APGA supervision and accreditation of internship sites. Results indicate that ACES will need to become more actively involved in the development and retainment of internship positions. Fred Dorn is a doctoral candidate at Iowa State Unirlersily in Anus, Iowa, and a coumeling intern atTrxris AU3M ~' i t k~l ' . \~~ I n Collvgv Stritioir. Tvxm.

“…C ollege counselors are often called on to conduct counseling supervision. Counseling centers at colleges and universities are popular practicum and internship placements for counselor education programs (Dorn, 1979;Gloria, Castillo, Choi-Pearson, & Rangel, 1997). There may be more opportunities for the practice of supervision during internships at college counseling centers compared with agency internships (Scott, Ingram, Vitanza, & Smith, 2000).…”

College counseling center internships: Clarifying the issues.

“…In his earlier study, Dorn (1979) found that counseling center directors ( N = 59) rated the importance of the year-long internship with a mean score of 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 = most important ). They gave a mean score of 5.5 to the importance of an accredited internship.…”
