Abstract: The specialty of gerontological counseling has a 20-year history that began with a dearth of
information and has progressed to the development of preparation standards and a national
certification, both based on a nationally endorsed statement of competencies for gerontological
counselors. The question of whether generalization or a specialization will best serve the needs
of older persons continues to be central to the development of this specialization.
