Professional leave application Elizabeth Reynolds Welfel, Ph.D. Fall Quarter, 1995 Abstract The proposed one-quarter professional leave will be devoted to writing six to eight chapters of my next book entitled, Makina ethical decisions: A auide to responsible practice for counselors and therapists. The prospectus is in preparation and preliminary discussions with the publisher have been very encouraging. In addition, I plan to submit an article to the Journal of Counselina and Development entitled, "Personality correlates of burnout in school counselors". Next, I plan to revise EDE 731: Psychopathology for Counselors to include more attention to disorders of childhood and adolescence and more material on the controversy about biological bases of mental disorders. Finally, I plan to read several nbw books on the MMPI for EDE 779: Personality Assessment for Counselors.
