A total of 220 university counseling center directors responded to a survey about their staff composition, staff psychologists' motivations for choosing counseling center work, commitment to this work setting, and motivations for leaving. Results were compared with those obtained in a similar survey conducted 15 years earlier. The present study suggests that staffs have more senior members than previously, that staff psychologists are spread more evenly across the age spectrum, and that staffs are proportionately more female. Essentially the same factors attract and hold psychologists as identified earlier However, private practice has now supplanted other options as the primary outlet for those leaving counseling centers.
