Current attention to the study of values in counseling and psychotherapy reflect a shift from earlier notions that counseling can be or should be a value-free enterprise. This study looked at the values that characterize counselors and therefore may influence the counseling process. The study looked at values in four domains: mental health values; universal values; individualism-collectivism; and religious/spiritual values. Nationwide, 479 counselors responded to a survey designed to assess values. Results of this study point to a generally concordant, although by no means unanimous, value profile for professional counselors across several major, interrelated value domains. For example, counselors are shown to value, among other characteristics, benevolence, self-direction, universalism, achievement, positive human relatedness, compassionate responsiveness, and purposeful personal development. They are moderately other-oriented and indicate some degree of spiritual or religious orientation. A few differences were found with respect to age, gender, race/ethnicity, and theoretical orientation. Contains 6 tables and 93 references. (JE)
