Impaired Counselors Leads to Impaired Clients
Abstract The purpose of this work is to define and explore counselor impairment, proving that counselor impairment is dangerous and ultimately leads to not having the ability to best serve the client who has sought professional help in the first place. There are countless reasons in which counselors in training or licensed counselors may become, or in some cases, enter the field, impaired. A survey of the various implications of such impairments are discussed.
