Abstract

Social class is an intersecting identity factor that affects clients, counselors, and all counseling specialties. Although an important component of ethical counseling practice, counseling scholars rarely publish research in this area. This study was designed to determine how often, when, and in what context social class was examined as the focus of counseling publications via a 17-year content analysis of 21 American Counseling Association (ACA) and ACA division journals. Implications and recommendations for counseling and counseling research are provided.
