Abstract
This content analysis examined internationally focused scholarship published from 1997 to 2009 in two counseling journals
published in the United States (US), namely The Counseling Psychologist (TCP) and the Journal of Counseling Psychology (JCP). Both demographic and content criteria, including author affiliation, participant location, topic area, cultural relevancy
of construct examined, method of collaboration and research design, were examined. A positive trend for the publication of
non-US-based scholarship was observed; however, a 10% representation of internationally-oriented scholarship in the past 13 years
suggests the potential for further international initiatives and integration in the field. Questions and implications for
future development of internationalization within US-based counseling psychology are discussed.
