What is the percentage of counselors in the social work profession out of the counseling profession population?

I want to know how many work with rape victims, child molestation, or prison counseling. vs. the counseling population.

Answer

Thank you for contacting the Argosy University Library.

To locate articles on your topic, I recommend performing a search using the Library Search box located at the bottom of the Argosy University Library homepage.

I think the blanket term that you can use for the type of counseling you've mentioned is "trauma counseling". Trauma counseling deals with both natural and human-generated disasters, which are associated with destruction as well as loss of loved ones and irreplaceable belongings. This includes counseling victims of sexual assault, etc.

Below are some suggested search terms:

  • "trauma counseling"
  • "trauma counselor"
  • "trauma counselors"

When typing in your search terms, I recommend enclosing them in quotation marks. This will ensure that the terms will be interpreted as phrases.

If you find that the number of results you retrieve is overwhelming, another option is to search in one database that covers multiple disciplines. Academic Search Complete or ProQuest Central are two such databases. Click the Find Articles and More button from the library homepage to locate the links to these two resources.

Finally, if you can't find an article that provides an exact percentage or number, you can also try reaching out to national counseling organizations or search the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,

Argosy University Library
