The Counselor Consultant as a Specialist in Organization Development.
Murray, Donald; Schmuck, Richard
This paper suggests that the traditional role of school counselor and that of the organizational specialist could be made to fit into a single job description that should be the emerging role of the counselor of tomorrow. Rather than viewing the role of organizational specialist as still another expectation, the authors see it as a natural fit between the preventive approach to mental health and a system orientation to human behavior. They contend that counselors should modify their targets to improvements in organizational and interpersonal processes and should act more as consultants either as a group process expert within a single building, or as a member of a districtwide cadre of organization development consultants.
