You did this discussion for me:

Counseling as a field of psychology requires programmes that go hand in hand with enhancing the potentials of the counselor (de Villiers, 2014). Because communication is paramount in counselling, it is quite evident that an insight into the field of communication is very crucial in the profession. Subsequently, counselling requires two parties of which both should feel completely satisfied with the outcome of the task at hand.

In the same way, both the client and the counselor should be in a position to communicate effectively. Communication programmes outcome should be in a position to equip an individual in the Programme with essential strategies needed (Reinkraut, Motulsky & Ritchie, 2009). On the other hand, human behavior is directly linked to the field of psychology. Social sciences give detailed information on why humans behave the way they do and tend to offer answers to some phenomena that science on its own cannot answer.

Taking this into consideration, it is evident that social science Programme outcome is one of great importance and neither can it be overlooked. Due to the nature of its profession, counseling as a sub-branch of psychology also examines human expressions (Reinkraut, Motulsky & Ritchie, 2009). Relatively, program outcomes of Arts and Humanities shed light on the same. An equipped counselor is one with insight on the discipline that relates to and identifies human potentials through studies on expressions.

Technology literacy and ethics programs are some of the left out significant program outcomes. However, program outcomes such as Research and Information and mathematics are in my view completely unnecessary. This does not by any chance imply that they should not qualify as programs in the field of psychology. My opinion, however, is specifically attached to the field of counseling as an intermediate of psychology.

Another student replied on my post and said:

Wonderful job in researching how program outcomes will benefit your career choice specifically. You stated that research and information are unnecessary outcomes in the occupation of counseling psychology. I disagree and here is why, though a counseling psychologist may choose not to conduct a research study there is importance in being able to find and evaluate new research and information. Psychology is an ever-evolving and constantly growing field of study. Although, there are static theories in the field of psychology, most are adapted to fit new information found through research, such as forty years ago there was no real research on emotional impacts in cognition but, with research, that school of thought has changed. Could you expand on your thought of this particular program outcome and why you feel it is unnecessary?

Can you reply on this??? Just a quick short paragraph please?

Thanks
