ABSTRACT

In chapter 1, we reviewed the definitions and summarized the professional stan­ dards that are currently influencing the applied practice components (practicum and internship) of counseling programs.

Chapter 2 has as its focus the process of selecting and negotiating a practi­ cum site placement. The specific guidelines of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) and the American Psychological Association (APA) are followed in the format presented. Students are reminded that adaptations in the format may need to be made to meet the particular and specific needs of the training institution and the internship site.
