Improving what we do: Putting scientist-practitioner training into practice in a Master's-level counsellor education program

Abstract

As one in a series of papers examining the application of scientist-practitioner training in different contexts, an early-career master's-level counsellor educator describes how his training has positively influenced his professional work. Specifically addressed are his work setting, his own individual training experiences, how his training affects what he does, and challenges he faces. Observations on the status of the scientist-practitioner model in his context are shared, with the broad applicability of the model highlighted as a major strength.

*This paper is based on a symposium paper entitled “Collaboration of science and practice in a master's-level program,” presented at the 112th Annual Meeting of the American Psychological Association, Honolulu, Hawaii.
