“…More recent investigations include translation of psychological assessment instruments into sign language as used by deaf individuals (Brauer, 1979(Brauer, , 1988Dwyer & Wincenciak, 1977;Freeman & Conoley, 1986;Hoemann, 1972;Tweney & Hoeman, 1976).

In order to determine the existence of a signer effect, two videotapes of the same 38 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) critical items, translated into American Sign Language (ASL) and signed by different signers, were administered to 35 deaf adults. Results of this study demonstrate an insignificant signer effect and underscore the potential utility and practicality of future ASL translations of self-report tests for use with deaf individuals. Caveats for future translations include the necessity for constant attention to translation refinements and for utilizing native ASL users with appropriate training in psychology as signers.

“…Freeman and Conoley (1986) studied hearing impaired subjects. Whereas main effects for similarity were found on perceived counselor expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness, an interaction was also found with counselor experience level; experienced counselors who used an interpreter were rated as less expert, attractive, and trustworthy than were the other counselors.…”

“…Freeman and Conoley (1986) tested the similarity hypothesis by asking subjects about their willingness to see a hypothetical counselor. They found that similarity between hearing impaired subjects and counselors resulted in a main effect for reported willingness to see a counselor and an interaction; the subjects were less willing to see experienced counselors who used an interpreter.…”

This review concerns recent research on counseling as a social influence process. Studies published since 1981 are presented in two groups, according to whether they pertain to the first or second stage of Strong's (1968) influence model, and within these groups, according to the type of methodology used (interview and noninterview analogue studies and field studies) and the variables of interest (counselor, message, and client variables, and combinations of these). Then, the social influence literature as a whole is critically examined as to its methodological and theoretical adequacy. Major criticisms include the low external validity of the research, the disproportionate emphasis of the research on counselor perceptions rather than influence itself, and the weak connection between research and theory. Solutions are proposed for particular methodological problems, and recommendations are made for further research and theory development. The goal of counseling is to help people solve problems and cope with life's difficulties (Fretz, 1982;Heppner, 1978) or, in other words, to help people change. Questions about the change process guide the work of counseling practitioners and researchers alike. For practitioners it is a practical question: "What can I do to help this client to change?" But the scientific A Review of Recent Social Influence ResearchWe thank Monica M. Menne for her tabulations on some of the studies, Rebecca M. Nerison for her editorial assistance, and Joan Rosenberg for her stimulating observations about the influence process in counseling.Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to P. Paul Heppner, 210 McAlester Hall, Psychology Department, University of Missouri--Columbia, Columbia, Missouri 6521 I. version of the question differs only in its generality and scope: "What can counselors do to help a wide variety of clients change?" Inquiry into the principles and processes of change is at the heart of counseling research and, as these questions show, vital to its link with practice.Social influence theory is one attempt to answer questions about the change process in counseling. Though influence has long been recognized--and denied--as an important part of counseling and psychotherapy (see Pepinsky & Pepinsky, 1954), formal articulation of the social influence point of view probably began with the publication of Frank's (1961) Persuasion and Healing. Research on the influence process in counseling began in the 1960s, undoubtedly stimulated by the attitude change Zeitgeist in social psychology, but also by Journal of Counseliog Psychology, 1989, Vol, 36, No. 3, 365-387 Copyright 1988 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 0022-0167/89/$00.75 365 366 P.

“…Research suggests that clients who are deaf prefer a counselor who also is deaf (Freeman & Conoley, 1986;Williams & Abeles, 2004). However, according to Williams and Abeles (2004), most mental health professionals do not know how to use sign language, and thus it is fair to assume that many counselors who work with clients who are deaf use sign language interpreters or other forms of communication such as note pads.…”

during their professional career, counselors may encounter a client who is deaf; however, they may feel unprepared to work effectively with this population. counselors who have an understanding of individuals who are deaf through their history, language, and other important considerations might be better prepared to work with this unique and underserved population. a lo largo de su carrera profesional, los consejeros pueden encontrarse con un cliente que sea sordo; sin embargo, puede que no se sientan preparados para trabajar efectivamente con esta población. aquellos consejeros que tienen un conocimiento de los individuos que son sordos a través de su historia, lenguaje y otras consideraciones importantes podrían estar mejor preparados para trabajar con esta población singular y desatendida.
