Assessment

Issues and Challenges for the Millennium

By: Counseling & Psychological Services, Incorporated,ERIC Clearinghouse on Counseling and Student Services, Greensboro, NC.

The collection of papers presented in this monograph provides an update on developments in assessment for counselors, practitioners, and researchers in all types of educational settings. The papers are grouped into five sections. Section 1, on emerging issues, includes topics on testing theories presently used, and some thoughts for the future. Section 2 concerns issues of counselor education in higher education. Section 3 discusses educational assessment in elementary and secondary schools, and the role of the counselor in school guidance. Section 4 considers testing modifications and accommodations that are in practice with the special needs population. Section 5 reviews special assessment topics. Examples of these topics include the rights of the test takers; communicating test results; writing multiple choice tests; and use of specific types of tests. Also included are reprints of 33 ERIC/CASS Digests on Assessment in Counseling and Therapy produced for the Assessment '95 ERIC/CASS and the Association for Assessment in Counseling national conference. With the publication of this monograph, it is hoped that a wide range of practitioners and researchers will have access to current information that is not readily available to them.

New Developments in Group Counseling

By: ERIC Clearinghouse on Counseling and Student Services, Greensboro, NC.

Group counseling is a rapidly changing field. This collection of 31 digests examines various aspects of group process and group counseling. The digests are arranged under different subject headings. In section 1, the nature of group work is examined, along with the evolution of group work training since 1990. The second section looks at application of theories in groups, highlighting such approaches as solution-focused counseling, impact therapy, and the use of gestalt psychodrama. The next heading explores groups in the schools and includes discussions of interferences to small group work, children of divorce, the use of creative arts, psychodrama techniques, and the inclusion of students with disabilities in group work. Working with adults and families is covered in section four. This section offers insights into helping older adults age, conducting parent education groups, multiple family group therapy, and multifamily group psychotherapy. Section five deals with group dynamics and group processes. Some of the suggestions here center on efficient therapy groups, using corrective feedback, using self-concept as an integrator of group process, and group psychotherapy and close friendships. A group model is also offered. Since many groups accompany special circumstances, section six gives advice on handling clients experiencing grief, how to confront hostile behavior, group dynamics and problem members, interventions with ex-cultists, members with disabilities, and multicultural group counseling. The last two sections delve into teamwork and its importance in group work, and the education of groups and of group specialists. Contains an annotated bibliography of resources on group process and group counseling. (RJM)
