Dr. Cicchetti recently published an article, based on his dissertation at Walden, with JSBHS: Perceived Competency in Grief Counseling: Implications for Counselor Education! Check it out at: http://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/jsbhs/vol10/iss1/2/
1. Please briefly describe your current research.
Perceived Competency in Grief
Counseling. The study examined whether Rehabilitation Counseling students in
their practica or internship perceived if they were adequately trained in their
Masters level Rehabilitation Counseling Program to work with clients
experiencing issues related to grief.
2 How did you come to be in this area of study?
I have a sister and a brother who
have an acquired disability. The person with an acquired disability is grieving
the loss of what use to be. Both
attended a program through Rehabilitation Counseling. I observed both were or
seemed to be misdiagnosed. They were diagnosed with issue related to
depression. Depression is a characteristic of grief. Especially with a person
who has an acquired disability. If a person is misdiagnosed, chances are very
good they are being receiving improper medication. Thus my interest in the
topic
3. What do like best about doing research?
The idea my observations might
possibly add to existing data.
4. What do you dislike the most about doing research?
Conducting extensive literature
reviews to examine what research had been conducted about the topic.
5. Advice for new researchers who would like to be published?
Do not take feedback personally,
especially from peer reviewers. They are in place to ensure your work meets the
standards for publishing. Take a step back. Process the feedback, and if you do
not understand any of the feedback, ask for clarity. We are all here to help
you publish.
