Abstract
Counseling psychology, counselor education, and guidance and counseling as representative of different professional areas in counseling share much common history with other areas of applied psychology and education. These counseling fields share much of the same history, both in terms of societal factors, significant events, and important people. Counseling shares much with educational movements such as vocational education and individual education. Psychology has provided counseling a theoretical base for understanding and changing human behavior. These factors do little to separate counseling from educational psychology as elaborated earlier in this book. However, a strong case could be made for the striking lack of commonality between counseling and educational psychology. Educational psychology has become less interested in application whereas counseling is by definition oriented toward change and the application of principles of change.
