Description
Summary:Increasingly, neuroscientific knowledge has been identified as an essential component of clinical work. Counselor self-efficacy (CSE) has been shown to be an effective measure of counselor development. The current study evaluated the effect of neuroscientific training on counselor self-efficacy, student satisfaction and desire for neuroscientific training. Subjects were 172 counseling students who had (n = 51) or had not (n = 121) completed an elective course in neuroscience. No significant difference was found between those students who took the course in neuroscience and those who did not. Third year students displayed seemingly meaningful difference from the remainder of the sample in regards to scores on CSE. Implications of the findings, limitations, and recommendations for future research are explored.
