Silver anniversary: The Journal of Counseling Psychology as a matter of policies.

Twenty-five years ago, leaders in the fledgling APA Division of Counseling Psychology initiated the Journal of Counseling Psychology. What has evolved as journal policy, we note, reflects early developments in the history of the division. A steady growth in the proportion of empirical as against nonempirical articles and a dramatic rise in the proportion of process-outcome studies in the journal symbolize the division's continuing need for unity of thought; the Counseling Psychologist, by contrast, is an outlet in which divisional members may express their need for individuality of action.
