McLaughlin, Jerry E.; Boettcher, Kathryn – Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development, 2009
The authors explore 3 debates in other disciplines similar to counseling's identity debate in order to learn about common themes and outcomes. Conformity, distinction, and cohesion emerged as common themes. They conclude that counselors should retain their distinctive, humanistic approach rather than conforming to the dominant, medical approach.
