At one extreme, there is a group of counselor computer users who fervently believe that programming skills using language such as BASIC, LOGO, or PASCAL are essential for anything more than superficial use of computers in counseling. In their view, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and counselors who &dquo;play&dquo; at using computers in career counseling are likely to use them without the basic understanding and expertise they need to be thoughtful 1 and discriminating users. At the other extreme are counselors who feel that the computer is simply a tool that can take some of the drudgery and routine out of counseling, thus

When school personnel and family members are aware of the concerns of students they can take steps that will help them cope with life and enjoy a certain measure of happiness. The world of elementary school students is not nearly as safe and protected as most people believe (Shapiro & Rylewicz, 1976). These young people experience a great deal of stress and anxiety.

The outgrowth of the 1986 ERIC/CAPS workshop, it contains four of the major presentations made at the conference. "The Impact of Computers on the Future of Counseling: Boom or Boomerang" (Edwin L. Herr) examines the effect of technology upon society and whether counselors need computerization, and offers three major perspectives on the impact of computers on the future of counseling: computers as content, as process, and as method. "Computer Use or Abuse: Ethics in the Use of Computers" (James P. Sampson, Jr.) explores the misuse of computer applications, overdependence on computer technology, and the restriction of the counseling process to the cognitive component alone. "Counselors vs. Computers: A Cost/Benefit Analysis" (Marxlyn E. Maze) discusses making a cost analysis of the use of computers in counseling. "Taking the Byte Out of Computers: Strat...
