I loved Nikki's wise post about the need to learn counseling skills. And
thanks to Diane Wiessinger for reminding us that LISTENING is a counseling
skill. As we look to the future of our profession and consider what our
degree plans and comprehensive courses ought to include, I hope there will
be many voices demanding a counseling skills component.
