                 Professional Leave Application
                 Fall, 1995


                 on this project is under revision and will be submitted for publication by

                 February, 1995.


                       My third objective is to revise two components of EDE 731

                 Psychopathology for Counselors and to do a literature review to update the

                 reading list.  The components targeted for revision deal with disorders of

                 childhood and adolescence and the controversy regarding the biological bases

                 of mental disorders.


                       Fourth, I want to update my knowledge for EDE 779 because several

                 new books on the MMPI-2 and the MMPI-A have been published in the last year

                 and I want to read at least two of them before I teach the course again in Winter,

                 1996.


                 Relationship of r)roiect to my faculty responsibilities at CSU


                       First, the book is important to my continued scholarly development as a

                 faculty member.  In addition, I teach professional ethics to Master's, Ed.S., and

                 doctoral students in the counseling program and have been dissatisfied with the

                 graduate texts available for teaching purposes.  Generally, they fail to integrate

                 sufficient scholarly material and to be sophisticated enough for advanced

                 graduate students.  My book would not only serve a real professional need, but

                 also improve ethics education for CSU students in counseling.

                       Second, publishing the article on burnout in school counselors will help

                 me teach the school counseling students in our program more effectively.
