Black college men in personal counseling: A five-year archival investigation

Abstract

Multicultural needs assessments indicate that Black college males are among the most infrequent users of personal (as contrasted with career/academic) counseling services. To examine this further, a five-year archival investigation was initiatd. Presenting concerns of Black males were assessed and compared to previous findings. Referral sources, counselor preference, confidentiality consent, number of sessions, and standard demographic data were obtained. The objective of the investigation is ulitmately one of enhancing innovative programming and diversity in use of services. An attempt at determining satisfaction with counseling through examination of client evaluations and counseling through examination of client evaluations and counselor comments was also made. © 1992 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
