Publishing Column

The American Association for Counseling and Development has entered the magazine-publishing arena for the first time in its 40-year history, launching a broadly focused journal to address the professional needs of its 60,000 members and other counselors working in education, health care, human-development agencies, industry, and other areas.

The cover story of the inaugural issue of American Counselor, a quarterly, is on multiculturalism, offering strategies counselors can use to meet the needs of an ethnically diverse clientele. Other stories profile a highly successful high-school counselor, examine whether career counseling includes therapy, and weigh the pros and cons of counselor accreditation. Regular features will include a legal-advice column and an opinion forum.

American Counselor will be sent to A.A.C.D. members. Non-members may order a year's subscription for $18 from A.A.C.D. 5999 Stevenson...
