Counsellors and Research.

Abstract

Research findings have suggested that practising counsellors do not take an active part in conducting research for a variety of practical, economic, and personal reasons, nor do they regularly use research done by others to enhance their practice. In 2004, Robert Manthei discussed these shortcomings in an article in the New Zealand Journal of Counselling and called for change. In response, this paper outlines the benefits to one practitioner of using and conducting research, and to others of involvement as participants.
