Peer Consultation for Professional Counselors. ERIC Digest.
Benshoff, James M.
The importance of extensive, high-quality counseling supervision has become recognized as critical to learning, maintaining, and improving professional counseling skills. Peer consultation models offer counselors a viable adjunct or alternative experience to traditional approaches to counseling supervision. Research provides accumulating support for the value of peer consultation/supervision experiences for professional counselors.The Structured Peer Consultation Model (SPCM) was developed to provide counselors and counselor trainees with feedback and assistance in developing their counseling skills and implementing them effectively with clients. In SPCMs, peers work together in dyads to provide regular consultation for one another. Although SPCMs include many traditional supervision activities (goal setting, tape review, and case consultation), the emphasis is on helping each other to reach self-determined goals, rather than on evaluating each other's counseling performance.
