Results indicated a statistically significant indirect effect of supervisory styles on supervisee satisfaction through the supervisory working alliance. Specifically, when supervisees rated higher on a mixture of three supervisory styles, they were more likely to report a stronger working alliance with their supervisors; …

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling
As a part of a Multicultural course, students in a doctoral program at a university in the Southwest worked together to synthesize a definition of social justice. The constructivist process implemented in this educational experience represented social justice in action, through co-construction of shared meaning. This definition, centered on Iris Young’s (2004) Five Faces of Oppression, resulted in the following: Social justice is addressing oppression, violence, exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, and cultural imperialism through counselors’ efforts and advocacy, while promoting a critical perspective of the culture of silence. Social Justice is an active, effective change on micro- and macro-levels to alter …

Academic Job Negotiation Experiences, Reflections, And Biases In Counselor Education: A Descriptive Study, Cheryl L. Pence, Andrea Kirk-Jenkins
Journal of Counselor Preparation and Supervision
This descriptive study explored the job negotiation experiences of 93 counselor educators through an embedded survey design to examine their negotiation experiences, reflections, and potential hiring biases. The most common negotiation preparation strategy was consulting a mentor (80%) and while salary was most regularly negotiated (76%), a list of other benefits was included. Although a majority of participants regretted not making a request (53%), most reported overall positive experiences (63%). These findings support implications for counselor educators including preparing early, using successful negotiation strategies, exploring all potential benefits, and articulating requests for a more positive negotiation experience.

Foreign-born students are present in counselor education programs, yet limited research exists understanding how their race-ethnicity impacts their counselor self-efficacy or acculturative stress. This current investigation examined the effects of race-ethnicity on counselor self-efficacy and acculturative stress within a sample of 94 foreign-born counseling students (FBCSs). Results of a one-way MANOVA revealed that compared with Caucasian FBCSs, students who self-identified as Hispanic/Latinx, Asian/Pacific Islander, Black/African, and other reported significant changes in counselor self-efficacy and acculturative stress. These groups reported less counselor self-efficacy and higher levels of acculturative stress than Caucasian FBCSs, highlighting the importance of with-in group differences, such as …
