Abstract

There is a need for counseling programs to identify counseling students who are not psychologically or emotionally fit to be counselors. There is not a clear definition of what it means to be an impaired counselor. The factors cited in academic literature relating to psychological adjustment and wellness of mental health practitioners in training were examined and analyzed. A total of 734 factors were identified from 65 articles and grouped into 17 categories that describe issues of trainee adjustment and wellness.
