The Past and the Future of The Counseling Psychologist

Abstract

In this article, I describe the development of The Counseling Psychologist since its founding in 1969 and the ways in which counseling psychologists can further promote the future growth of TCP. Also, in an attempt to forecast the future articles published in TCP, I conducted an exploratory content analysis of the Major Contributions published between 1969 and 2018 and a Delphi poll with expert counseling psychologists and I describe the results in this article.

A Vision Statement From the New Editor

“…To aid in this effort, I conducted a Delphi Poll during the summer of 2018 to identify trending and influential topics during the next 2 to 10 years. The details of this study and its results were described in Kim (2019) but I want to mention that the highest ranked topics involved social justice and multicultural issues. Thus, I will be encouraging authors to submit articles in these topics.…”
