This project was part of a much larger endeavor called "Counseling
Psychology at the Eve of the 21st Century" first announced in 1998. This project
was originally conceived by Dr. John M. Whiteley (professor in Social Ecology at
the University of California, Irvine) as a means of cataloging the
contributions, changes, and challenges of the profession of Counseling
Psychology over the past century. Dr. Whiteley is the founding editor of The
Counseling Psychologist and has written several books on the history of
Counseling Psychology, and so it seemed fitting he would develop this project.
Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, the "Counseling Psychology at the
Eve of the 21st Century" project was never completed.
Nevertheless, there were several submissions that had already been made for the
section of the project that focused on the history of University & College
Counseling Centers, coordinated by Cathy Steel (University of California,
Riverside). It was decided to make these submissions available here, rather than
let them disappear forever.
