Abstract

Aims

This study investigated counsellor education Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) programs generative artificial intelligence (AI) policies in doctoral-level counselor education programs. We aimed to contribute to emerging research on the use of generative AI within counselor education.

Methods

A content analysis of the policies was conducted along with a linguistic analysis of the policies to determine the authenticity, tone, and analytical nature of the University, and program policies.

Results

A content analysis of generative artificial intelligence usage policies within doctoral counselor education programs indicated that only five programs had program-specific generative artificial intelligence policies. Most programs utilized University policies or usage guidance.

Conclusion

Suggestions for practice include providing definitional clarity of the different types of AI to reduce potential frustration for learners. Further, programs should consider developing a program-specific policy since the counseling profession requires a high level of ethical responsibility to best serve clients.

研究辅导员教育中的人工智能政策

目的本研究调查咨询与相关教育项目认证委员会（CACREP）项目在博士级咨询教育项目中的生成式人工智能（AI）政策。我们的目标是促进在辅导员教育中使用生成人工智能的新兴研究。方法对政策进行内容分析，并对政策进行语言分析，以确定大学和项目政策的真实性、语气和分析性质。结果对博士生辅导员教育项目中生成式人工智能使用政策的内容分析表明，只有5个项目有针对特定项目的生成式人工智能政策。大多数程序使用了大学的政策或使用指南。对实践的建议包括提供不同类型AI的清晰定义，以减少学习者潜在的挫败感。此外，项目应该考虑制定一个具体的项目政策，因为咨询行业需要高度的道德责任来最好地为客户服务。

期刊介绍： Counselling and Psychotherapy Research is an innovative international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to linking research with practice. Pluralist in orientation, the journal recognises the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods strategies of inquiry and aims to promote high-quality, ethical research that informs and develops counselling and psychotherapy practice. CPR is a journal of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, promoting reflexive research strongly linked to practice. The journal has its own website: www.cprjournal.com. The aim of this site is to further develop links between counselling and psychotherapy research and practice by offering accessible information about both the specific contents of each issue of CPR, as well as wider developments in counselling and psychotherapy research. The aims are to ensure that research remains relevant to practice, and for practice to continue to inform research development.
