The scientist-practitioner model of training in counseling emphasizes systematic and thoughtful analyses of human experiences and judicious application of the knowledge and attitudes gained from such analyses. It does not stress the importance of discussing research findings with academic supervisors on a confidential basis, as research findings are typically disseminated through publications and presentations. It also does not prioritize publishing only positive results, as negative trials are important for informing future research and treatment development. Additionally, the scientist-practitioner model does not adopt a subjective approach to create a scientific report and suppress contradictory evidence, as the goal is to use rigorous scientific methods to understand and improve counseling practice.
