- Title
On the Perceived Non-Utility of Research in Counseling.
- Authors
Heppner, P. Paul; Anderson, Wayne P.
- Abstract
Additional observations about the perceived non-utility of research are offered in terms of relevance and rigor, practicum training, practitioners' work environments, and efficiency of information exchange. <BR> Howard focuses primarily on the type of variables that have been examined in the published research. He maintains that research that is published tends to investigate efficient causes as opposed to final causes of behavior, with the latter being the causes that practitioners tend to believe in. Thus, a schism. Gelso (1979) made another observation: Relatively few counseling psychologists actively engage in research after they receive their doctorate degrees. As reasons, Gelso questioned the feasibility of the scientist-practitioner model and the research preparation within training program.
