Professor Co-Authors Textbook to Prepare Counselors
Daniel Kissinger, University of Arkansas associate professor of counselor education, co-authored a textbook published this month by Sage called Counselor as Consultant. His co-authors are David Scott of Clemson and Chadwick Royal of North Carolina Central University.
The book is described as the first text to explicitly address new core standards for consultation as established by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. The graduate program in counselor education in the College of Education and Health Professions at the U of A is accredited by the council, referred to as CACREP.
Counselor as Consultant provides counseling professionals with a solid grounding in the primary theories, skills and models used in the profession. It has a strong focus on intentionality, reflection and wellness to help readers develop a strong sense of their identity as counselors. It includes numerous exercises and case illustrations to help students translate theory into practice.
Kissinger is a licensed professional counselor who joined the faculty of the College of Education and Health Professions in 2004 and he coordinates the counselor education program’s clinical mental health specialization. He has also co-edited a book about the psychosocial stressors of college student-athletes and conducted research in various areas, including student-athlete wellness.
He is also a co-principal investigator on the Razor C.O.A.C.H. project at the U of A that employs counselor education graduate students to mentor local high school students and assist them in making plans for further education or career goals after graduation.
