Tóm tắt

This report specifies theory and methodology to study the relation of professional training programs to large-scale socioeconomic trends. Sensitized by the case example of counselor training at Berkeley, the theoretical argument links increased demand for counselors to a convergence of problems of welfare and/or manpower utilization with capabilities to respond. Time Series Analyses of both Berkeley and of the quite different counseling program at San Francisco State demonstrate the predictive capabilities of the approach. Practical implications and possibilities of further application are discussed.
