History of School Counseling

I added an addition to this page under the history portion

"The first school counselors in the United States emerged in the late 1800s, the time of the Industrial Revolution. However, the United States may not be the first place that school counseling was recognized. There have been traces of school counselors dating back to the late 16th century. An argument has been made that says that counseling and guidance principles began in ancient Greece and Rome with the philosophical teachings of Plato and Aristotle. Evidence suggests that techniques of modern-day counseling was practiced by Catholic priests in the Middle Ages. Tomaso Garzoni wrote a book called “Universal Plaza of all the Professions in the World” (1626), which was a text about career options. This relates to what a school counselor in high school and college would talk to students about today"

I plan to edit the paragraph italicized below. The edited version is written below.

In the United States, the school counseling profession began as a vocational guidance movement. Jesse B. Davis is considered the first school counselor in the United States because he was the first to implement systematic guidance programs in schools. In 1907, he became the principal of a high school and encouraged the school English teachers to use compositions and lessons to relate career interests, develop character, and avoid behavioral problems. Many others during this time did the same. For example, in 1908, Frank Parsons, "Father of Vocational Guidance" established the Bureau of Vocational Guidance to assist young people in making the transition from school to work.

In the United States, school counseling began as a vocational guidance movement founded by Frank Parsons, a social reformer. The vocational guidance movement was used as a function of social reform as a way to link a worker to work and advancing the personal development of workers. The movement began with several dozen trained counselors, but the growth of the movement expanded overtime and resulted in 115,000 trained counselors by 1994. Jesse Buttrick Davis is considered the first school counselor in the United States. He was the first to incorporate a systematic program in schools. In Michigan, he was a pioneer in Grand Rapids and Detroit public schools due to laying out the foundation for counseling specialties of career and school counseling.

Counseling Psychology

Under counseling ethics, there was a section about confidentiality that had no sources and was a little bit muddy that I cleaned it up and rewrote it with sources.

"Counselors cannot share any confidential information that is obtained through the counseling process without specific written consent by the client or legal guardian except to prevent clear, imminent danger to the client or others, or when required to do so by a court order. Insurance companies or government programs will also be notified of certain information about your diagnosis and treatment to determine if your care is covered. Those companies and government programs are bound by HIPAA to keep that information strictly confidential."
