Professional Counseling Excellence through Leadership and Advocacy
 Edited by CSI leaders Catherine Y. Chang, Casey A. Barrio Minton, Andrea L. Dixon, Jane E. Myers, and Thomas J. Sweeney. This book is intended as a resource for counseling students and educators to help incorporate leadership and advocacy training into the counseling curriculum, based on the new standards set forth by CACREP. It identifies the historical context of leadership and advocacy, provides a framework from which to understand these concepts, and provides concrete examples of leadership and advocacy happening in the field today.
The chapter authors first consider the foundations of leadership in counseling, including the history of leadership in counseling and Chi Sigma Iota’s role over the past 25 years; the theoretical, philosophical, and research foundations of leadership; principles and competencies of counseling leadership necessary to leading well; and developing a personal style of leadership. The next section on the foundations of advocacy covers both professional and client advocacy, stressing the importance of both and their purposes, practice, competencies, training, and obstacles. Leadership and advocacy roles in counseling are then discussed, with authors describing the design of an effective counselor education curriculum, supervision of counselors, and leadership and advocacy practice in various counseling settings. Finally, the future directions for counseling leadership and advocacy are considered.
Acknowledgments: This book is dedicated to the to the contributing authors, to those leaders and advocates who have paved the way for the future generation, and to the future generation of counseling professionals who will lead us into the possible future. We would also like to express our gratitude and appreciation to Caroline O’Hara, who served as managing editor for this project.
