A Response to the proposed paradigm: freedom runs through it./

By: Ottens, Allen J.
Description: refs.ISSN: 0011-0035.Other title: Counselor Education and Supervision.Subject(s): ACADEMIC FREEDOM | FREEDOMDDC classification: 050/Ot85 Summary: Freedom, conceived as self-determination, control, and agency, has been put forth as the central purpose of a paradigm to bring together the specialties of the counseling profession, integrate the many theories, and usher in a wave of potentially powerful techniques from Asian psychologies. It remains to be seen how the foci of the specialties would change, if at all, in this paradigm: however, the unique contributions of each theory may be better appreciated. Research should be undertaken to better understand the efficacy of these new but ancient techniques.
