The Professional Identity of Counselor Educators

ABSTRACT A national survey of 70 counselor educators was conducted to examine the professional identity of counselor educators. Academic degrees, professional association membership, theoretical orientation, types of courses taught, scholarship, scope of service activities, career choice, and self-identification were among the factors explored relating to professional identity development among counselor educators. Demographic data such as the college or school in which counseling programs are housed and the percentage of faculty self-identified as counselors within counseling programs or departments was also explored. The results of the study and implications for the professional identity of the counseling field are discussed.
