With this rejoinder, we address some of the concerns and questions raised by Ridley and Mollen (2012) and Hill (2012). Specially, we reflect upon Ridley and Mollen's commentary about whether the three theories in this major contribution can be deemed emergent or whether they are simply old thought in new packages. We also address Hill's question regarding the theories chosen and her concerns about why so few counseling psychologists are involved in creating theories. Finally, in response to these thoughtful commentaries, we also briefly discuss our views on theory building and scientific development in the field of counseling psychology.
