Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Counselor Education.
Human sexuality is a profound and multifaceted psychosocial component of the human condition that is universally experience. As such, it is an inevitability that issues related to sexuality will come up in counseling; however, there is a lack of scientific-based sex education in K-12 schools. Additionally, there is no requirement, except for in two states, for students in mental health counseling programs to complete a course on human sexuality. This quantitative study aimed to explore current practicing counselors’ knowledge, skills, attitudes, and comfort in addressing sexuality concerns with clients. Participants were gathered from current list serves serving counselors nationwide via online survey requests. Using a demographic sheet and the Knowledge, Comfort, Approach, and Attitude towards Sexuality Scale (KCAASS), a hierarchical multiple regression was run to identify whether counselor demographic area of practice is a significant predictor of KCASS score. Clinical and educational implications as well as future research were discussed. The results of this study provided implications for counseling practice, counselor education, and supervision.
