Subject: Survey of Counselor Professional Identity

Dear Licensed Counselors, 
 
If you have already participated in this study by completing the Survey of
Counselor Professional Identity, thank you again for your participation.  

If you have not had the opportunity to participate, please take
approximately 15 minutes to read the following information and follow the
hyperlink to complete the Survey.  

I have developed a survey (Survey of Counselor Professional Identity) that
asks licensed counselors to identify and determine the relative importance
of the components that contribute to the development of their professional
identity as a counselor.  The survey also asks about counselor's attitudes
towards similarities and differences among mental health professions.  I
plan to use the data from the survey to identify components that contribute
to the development of counselor professional identity and compare counselors
with strong perceived professional identities with counselors with less
strong perceived professional identities in regards to perceiving more
differences between counseling and other mental health professionals.  

Participation is anonymous; there is no way to identify you after you submit
your responses.  The approximate completion time for the total instrument
ranges from 15-20 minutes.    
If you have any questions about your rights as a subject/participant in this
research, or if you feel you have been placed at risk, you can contact Dr.
Richard Speaker at the University of New Orleans at (504) 280-6534.

Your answers on this survey will provide important information that may
prove useful as a consideration in the planning or future research of
counselor professional identity.  Likewise, if variables that have an impact
on counselor professional identity development can be identified, counselor
education programs, CACREP, and professional organizations could consider
those findings in determining ways to foster the development of a strong
identity as a counselor.  Your participation is entirely voluntary and you
may withdraw consent and terminate participation at any time without
consequence.  The risks associated with this study are minimal.  Some people
may tire while answering these questions.  If you would like more
information about this study or if you wish to discuss any discomforts you
may experience, please send your request to the principal investigator for
this study, Latifey Baker LaFleur, at llbaker at uno.edu.  You may also contact
my faculty advisor, Dr. Louis V. Paradise, by email lparadise at uno.edu or by
telephone, 504-280-6026, for more information about this study.  

Thanks in advance for your participation.
