Counselor Cognitions: General and Domain-Specific Complexity
Welfare, Laura E.; Borders, L. DiAnne
Counselor Education and Supervision, v49 n3 p162-178 Mar 2010
Counselor cognitive complexity is an important factor in counseling efficacy. The Counselor Cognitions Questionnaire (L. E. Welfare, 2006) and the Washington University Sentence Completion Test (J. Loevinger & R. Wessler, 1970) were used to explore the nature of general and domain-specific cognitive complexity. Counseling experience, supervisory experience, counselor education experience, and highest counseling degree completed were identified as significant predictors of counselor cognitive complexity. Implications for counselor education are discussed.
