The Education of Counsellors and Psychotherapists: A Proposal

Cecil H. Patterson

Abstract

With the concern for integration in counselling and psychotherapy in the 90's, there is an opportunity for change in the education of counsellors and psychotherapists. Although integration has not proceeded very far, and the focus is upon techniques rather than philosophy and theory, there is the beginning of hope for a single unifying theory. The basis for this theory is the acceptance of the common elements in all the major theories of counselling or psychotherapy. They should be made the focus of the education of counsellors and psychotherapists.

Keywords: Medical Education; Philosophy; Counseling and Clinical Psychology; Clinical Mentors
