Description
Summary:This qualitative research study investigates the qualities of effective counselors from the perspective of Filipino practitioners, clients, and counselor educators in Metro Manila. It explores the counseling stakeholders' view of effective counselors. Ninety-three counselors, 317 student clients, and 6 counselor educators participated in this exploratory inquiry. Based on the responses content analyzed and categorized, the Empirically derived Model of Effective Counselors is constructed and compared to Jennings and Skovholt's (1999) CER Model of Master Therapists. Similarities and differences were noted. The empirically derived model yielded four thematic clusters: knowledge in counseling and good attitude in counseling work, affective attributes, interpersonal skills and spiritual qualities.
