Historicity in Advocating Student-Within-Environment: Being a Socially Just School Counselor

Abstract

This article examines the advocating student-within-environment (ASE) approach to school counseling through the concept of historicity. Acknowledging and assessing how historicity influences students' views of their environment and school system can provide the ASE school counselor a deeper understanding of students' perceptual reality and a point of entry in the therapeutic relationship.
