WHEN CLIENTS CRY IN SESSION: EXPERIENCES OF STUDENTS ENROLLED IN A CACREP ACCREDITED CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING MASTER’S DEGREE PROGRAM

Abstract Details

2020, PHD, Kent State University, College of Education, Health and Human Services / School of Lifespan Development and Educational Sciences.
This phenomenological study looks at the impact of clients who cry in session on students enrolled in a CACREP Accredited Masters Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program. The results indicate students are under prepared for clients who cry in session due to a large part in lack of experience with emotion during childhood related to family. Additionally, results indicate that master’s clinical mental health counseling students bring biases into the counseling room, which are mostly gender specific, with the bias that men do not cry and women are expected to become emotional. This study delves into these results to bring forward a better understanding of how clinical mental health counseling students process clients crying in session during their practicum and internship experiences. Lastly, this study provides insight into clients crying in session and how to better prepare our clinical mental health counseling students in understanding and responding to crying.
