ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses positions in counseling and school psychology. These positions are obtainable with a BA in child and adolescent development as a foundation, but completing additional education is needed. In other words, one have to continue his education beyond the BA to a MA, and EdS (Educational Specialist), a PhD or other doctorate. Additionally, he should need a license in some states, such as California. The chapter discusses school counselors; marriage, family, and child counselors (MFCCs) and marriage and family therapists (MFT); and career counselors. It also discusses school psychologists, who play a different role and have different training than school counselors. School psychologists usually assess children's developmental levels, behavioral functioning, and abilities with psychological tests. School counselors interact with children more on a daily basis and perform a different set of duties.
