Abstract
The Queen's Counsel system has been entrenched in the legal structure of the UK for four centuries and has been there to serve the public. This paper explains that there is need to evaluate whether it still performs this specific function, whether it has the adequate skills and expertise that can manage and solve any kind of dispute, and specifically, if it recognizes and provides the public the wide variety of legal skills (DCA) it needs. It also examines whether the QC is still relevant, fit, and enjoys public confidence.
From the Paper
"At present, the legal profession in England and Wales is divided into two branches: the specialist legal advisers or solicitors and courtroom advocates (DCA 2003, Groups 2004). Solicitors provide a wide range of services from general legal advice and preparing court cases to functioning as advocates in higher and lower courts. As of December 2002, there were more than 10,000 barrister solicitors, more than 1,000 of whom had the rank of QC (DCA). Advocates, on the other hand, appear in court to argue a case before a tribunal and are divided into junior and QC.
The first QC was appointed by the Crown at the end of the 16th century on the advice by law officers, but the rank or office was granted more often in the 17th century on an individual basis, rather than on the basis of extending forensic help and support to the Crown's decisions and functions (DCA). By 1996, appointment for QC was limited to barristers, but eventually was extended to solicitors who had the right to appear in higher courts. The Lord Chancellor usually recommends the appointee but lawyers may apply with him but must pay the processing cost. After thorough consultations with the judiciary and other practitioners, he makes the decision, based on the candidate's leadership qualifications in the profession that compare with those already in the rank. There have been non-practicing advocates who have been awarded with the QC status on account of their valuable contribution to the field of law, such as academic excellence (DCA)."

From the Paper
"According to research the most important aspect of cross-cultural counseling that needs to be examined is how a practice is conceptualized(Bogo, George & Tsang, 2003). Traditional counseling methods are often defined as "ethnocentric" even though the client base that many practitioners work from is ethno culturally diverse in nature (McNeill, Horn & Perez, 1995). Many practitioners unfortunately still believe that ethnicity is not a dimension of identity, but rather see it as a client characteristic, thus their practices do not work to embrace ethnic identity as an experience to be shared by all parties involved in the counseling process (Bogo, George & Tsang, 2003)."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the article ?Person-Centered Counseling: The Culture? by Ann Shanks Glauser and Jerold Bozarth which explores the conditions that are necessary for successful counseling and focuses especially on the specialty of multicultural counseling. It discusses the argument that person-centered counselling is at the very heart of success in counseling and that the relationship between the client and counselor and the client?s situational and personal resources are the essential variables that determine its success. It provides statistical evidence for the relative unimportance of counseling technique noting that only 15% of the success variance of the counseling relationship comes from technique whereas 30% of the success variance comes from the client-counsellor relationship and an impressive 40% comes from extratherapeutic variables or chance occurrences. It explores the variables of the client-therapist relationship and the extratherapeutic variables of the client and concludes that the article is well-researched and internally consistent.
From the Paper
"The authors then go on to explore the variables of the client-therapist relationship and the extratherapeutic variables of the client. They note that ?most theories consider the (client-therapist) relationship as critical?. A successful relationship is defined by the counselor?s empathy for the client, seen in his or her genuineness with the client, and the counselor?s true respect and value for the client. Glauser and Bazarth note, ?Making judgments about people\'s humanity and its quality due to established criteria is to rely on tired but extremely powerful discourses steeped in oppression.?"

Abstract
In this article the writer aims to explore how much satisfaction online counseling brings to clients as compared to the traditional process of face-to-face counseling. The writer looks at changing elements within the field as online counseling continuously grows, achieving success. This paper attempts to explain what methods and modalities work in favor of online counseling and those that yield the highest client satisfaction. Further, the writer points out that legal and ethical issues continue to be a concern when using this new method of counseling. This paper explores the works and areas that increase client satisfaction of online counseling.
From the Paper
"Moreover, according to Leibert's and his colleagues' findings, the foremost benefit to patients why online counseling appeals to them is the preservation of their privacy and anonymity. This is especially true to people who are uncomfortable with the traditional method of therapy and are unable to acquire counseling services because of fear of revealing their identity. With online counseling, such kind of people is already able to get counseling service. Renee Gedge indicates that 91% of people with anxiety disorders prefer therapy served online.
Further advantages found from online counseling is its accessibility to clients. Through online counseling, people who have busy schedules can still acquire therapy without the need to travel. Just by sitting in front of their computers and accessing online counseling services, they can still continue their therapeutic sessions."

A look at when counseling skills can be of use to social workers.
3,850 words (approx. 15.4 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 105.95
»

Abstract
This paper shows how counseling skills can be used in social work and what social workers can do to take these skills and ensure that as many people as possible are helped. The paper first defines counseling so that there is a clear understanding, albeit in general terms, of what is being discussed in the rest of the paper. Following that, the principles of counseling are discussed so that they too can be clearly understood. Next, some examples are given to illustrate how these counseling skills can be used by social workers. The conclusion ties together all of these issues and shows a cohesiveness between all of the main points that are presented throughout the paper.
Definition of Counseling
Principles of Counseling
Situations in Which Social Workers Would Use Counseling Skills
From the Paper
"Counseling skills can encompass many different aspects of life, and they are of great use to those in social work. Unfortunately, many social workers do not realize just how important these kinds of skills are and therefore do not get the training in them that they really need. Since social workers are not counselors and do not usually see what they do as 'therapy' of any kind, they do not look to counseling as having a place in their work and the families that they often are called upon to help. However, much of what a social worker does for those that need help is actually counseling of a sort, and by learning more about counseling skills those that spend their time in the social work field can utilize what they already know, along with the counseling skills, to help many more individuals and families in new and better ways, which will ultimately be to the benefit of society."

Abstract
This paper describes the group counseling process. The author points out that this literature review upholds the view that group therapy among college-aged students is 'just as' if not 'more' effective in therapy-based interventions with motivation for change, a determinative factor in the success of this type of intervention. The paper states that group-counseling intervention is under-utilized by college-aged students.

Group Design - Theoretical Framework is Pluralistic in Nature Group Stages
Group Counseling Found to be "As Effective" as Individual Counseling
Group Counseling Under-Utilized by College Students
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"These stages are often referred to as "forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning." The first stage of 'dependency' or 'forming' is a time when members explore the group and themselves and establish trust. The second stage of 'conflict' or 'storming' may be either "overt or covert. The type and amount of conflict that is generated relates to how much jockeying for position goes on in the group." Stage three is 'cohesion' or 'norming' in which a "spirit of we-ness" is established and each person feels a part of the group which is conducive to "productive sharing"."

Abstract
This paper focuses on three different counseling theories with respect to their similarities and differences. The paper discusses the cognitive approach, the psychodynamic approach and the behavioral approach to counseling. It then discusses the three approaches' applicability in the twenty first century. The paper suggests that regardless of the theory chosen, the professional must ensure that it is congruent with her own personal values, personality, and professional skills.
Table of Contents:
Cognitive Approach to Counseling
Psychodynamic Approach to Counseling
Behavioral Approach to Counseling
Humanistic Counseling
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Behavioral counselors primarily believe that all learning comes from experience, albeit positive or negative. As such behaviorists believe their primary responsibility is to assist the client in analyzing their behaviors followed by the process of defining the problems brought about by the identified behaviors, and then setting about to resolve the issues through the setting of goals. This procedure is similar to those who don the title of 'cognitive' therapist. Further, like the cognitive therapist, the behaviorist supports a collaborative relationship between counselor and client in the problem-solving arena. Unlike the cognitive therapist the behaviorist follows the position that behavior is changed not by the sole tenet of understanding the exhibited behavior but also through the process of change brought about by reinforcement. For the cognitivist behavior change is strictly a conscious choice. One might look at the cognitive counselor as requiring a client to think oneself out of an action; while a behaviorist wants the client to act oneself out of the situation. So similar are cognitive and behavior theories that they are often lumped together into that which is conveniently termed cognitive-behavioral counseling. In the end the behavioral counselor will likely uses operant conditioning techniques, self-management programs and contingency contract to shape or re-shape a person's dysfunctional behavior. In addition, behavioral counseling has shown to be extremely effective in treating depression, anxiety, eating disorders and anger. As a side bar note it should be mentioned that behavioral counseling is one of the very few approaches that has been scientifically validated through measurable and observable results."

Marital Counseling, 2002.
Examines the effects of pre-marital and marital counseling on marriage longlevity and divorce rates.
3,278 words (approx. 13.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 94.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Due to the astounding body of evidence suggesting that marriage failure generally results from a breakdown of communication and from unrealistic marriage expectations and/or on spousal perceptual biases, it seems that marriage counseling and premarital counseling could in fact be highly useful tools for assuring the survival of a marriage. By performing a literature review on several sources on the subject of divorce statistics and the history of marital counseling, the paper suggests that couples who received marriage counseling during marriage or pre-marital counseling before marriage report a lower rate of divorce than those who never had the benefit of counseling. The paper then describes the methodology and findings of a research project performed to prove this hypothesis.
From the Paper
"If divorce is usually caused by some force for which counseling cannot really provide an answer, such as social or economic pressure, then there is less support for a hypothesis regarding the power of marital and premarital counseling to prevent divorce. However, if divorce is based on preventable or treatable flaws within the relationship, than the hypothesis may stand. Secondly, one must address the issue as to whether or not couples inside a therapeutical setting show any signs of being better adjusted than couples outside a therapeutical setting, and if past evidence has shown premarital counseling to be effective. If it has not, then the hypothesis as currently stated may still be correct, but it will have to be far more conclusive to prove its point. Finally, one must address the issue of whether or not counseling may in some cases be seen as evidence of impending marriage dissolution rather than marital health, and as such be seen as a negative relational sign. (For example, it is possible that most people approach counseling as a last-ditch effort to save their relationship, or that most of the people enrolled in premarital counseling are in very high risk groups and already undergoing problems. If so, it is further possible that the situation is not so much one of the efficacy or inefficacy of counseling programs themselves, but rather concerns itself with the way in which counseling programs segregate failed from non-failed relationships)."

Abstract
This paper discusses and reviews three research articles that relate to counseling in different scenarios. The paper describes the content of each article and why that particular article is unique. It then provides a review of the discussion in the article according to the opinion of the writer of this paper. The paper discusses articles that relate to counseling behaviors associated with gay, lesbian and bisexual clients that are afflicted with additions, counseling behaviors in relation to conservative Christians in Louisiana and school counseling attitudes in relation to immigrant students in the United States.
Outline:
Counseling for Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Clients
Counseling of Conservative Christians
Counseling in Schools
From the Paper
"Constantine and Gushue (2003) discuss school counseling attitudes in relation to immigrant students in the United States (p. 185). The article is unique because it focuses on an area of counseling that is not often approached through research and that provides insight into an issue that is a growing concern in the nation. It is known, for example, that growing numbers of Hispanic and Asian students exist in the nation and that many of these individuals, as first generation immigrants, have special needs and complications that make their socialization difficult. One of the purposes of school counseling in this case is to provide for the services that the student needs in order to make the transition into American society more effective."

Abstract
This well-researched paper defines multicultural counseling as a relationship in which the counselor and the client belong to different cultural groups, hold different assumptions about social reality and subscribe to different world views. The writer discusses the role of multicultural counselors while stressing the need to increase their understanding of the culture, life history and social circumstances of the people they are counseling. This paper cites relevant statistics and reports pertaining to this topic including the U.S. Census Bureau which states in recent reports that minorities currently make up one-quarter of the U.S. population. This paper examines issues of acculturation, cultural history and norms as well as intergenerational conflicts in two specific families, one South Vietnamese and the other Mexican-American while also detailing the type of counseling recommended for each family. The writer contends and explains why it is imperative for counselors to treat their clients as individuals without stereotyping the cultural characteristics of one specific person to those in the broader cultural community.

From the Paper
"When researching a specific culture, it is also important for counselors to be alert to any cultural stereotyping that might be uncovered. For instance, Buriel stated, "Mexican Americans as a group possess characteristics known to be negatively associated with many work attitudes, have experienced the effects of past and current discrimination, and are believed by some to be limited in their economic and occupational advancement." If counselors failed to investigate further, they would be limiting their understanding of Mexican Americans, as well as stereotyping all individuals of Mexican American descent, which would limit the effectiveness of counseling."

Biblical Counseling, 2007.
An analysis and evaluation of biblical counseling integration methods within the scope of modern psychology.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the various facets of biblical counseling in relation to the modern integration of psychology within a religious construct. The paper points out that, in many cases, there is evidence that the Bible provides moral and ethical foundations that can work with the various aspects of psychological counseling methods. It looks at how, by analyzing some of the biblical counseling terms found within this field, one can provide the psychological aspects of non-religious counseling that correlate with these Bible's analogies and moral lessons. In essence, the paper demonstrates how biblical counseling can work in tandem with modern psychological theories, since they work within the moral and ethical integration of societal values in modern times.
From the Paper
"The Biblical counseling term "Frovnhma" is a central aspect to Biblical counseling theory, especially though the innovations for religious counseling brought forth by Lawrence Crabb. Although Crabb does not portray a uniquely differential perspective for theologically based counseling, he invariably has designed in accordance with Freud's ideas about the unconscious. For Crabb, the Frovnhma is essentially the mind in relation to how God perceives the human will or way of thought. In many ways, there is a decidedly similar aspect of Crabb's theory that correlates with Sigmund Freud's theory of the "unconscious"--a term used for the deeper part of the mind that absorbs all thoughts and experiences."

This paper discusses school counseling in a multicultural society.

Abstract
This paper explains that the need for multicultural competencies development among school counseling professionals has been acknowledged by the American Psychological Association and the American Counseling Association, whose ethnic standards dictate that school counselors should achieve a certain level of multicultural competence prior to embarking on a professional career in student counseling. The author points out that, despite the acknowledgment of a need for increased awareness and training to ensure a positive student/counselor relationship, there is little evidence that much is being done to establish a core set of standardized competencies for student counselors. The paper stresses that minority students may be less likely than other students to seek out assistance from counselors; therefore, student counselors might consider a more aggressive approach to ensure they can provide culturally relevant services.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Diversity is more and more considered a critical element of education and school counseling programs in an ever more multicultural society. The term has been used to describe existing variables including cultural differences and beliefs that exist among populations whose personal experiences are generally considered different from those of the majority or 'norm'. Counseling a diverse student population is among the challenges that professional school counselors now face. Diversification of communities has resulted in a need for new core competencies to be developed among school counseling professionals that includes instruction geared toward working with people who have norms, values and personal views that are different from those of the majority population."
