Nov. 12, 2014
Dr. Darryl Plunkett, Counselor Education doctoral alumnus and part-time CECP instructor, had an article appear in the October 2014 issue of the journal Counseling and Values. In the paper Dr. Plunkett discusses the recent increase in the amount of attention given in the counseling literature to addressing clients’ religion and spirituality. However, Black American churchgoers are rarely the target population in the discourse, and little is known about how the Black church shapes their views. This article provides information on values of the Black church and the church’s influence on Black American churchgoers regarding secular counseling. Implications for counselor education and practice are also discussed.
