This article provides a brief description of the model for counseling psychology developed during the Greyston Conference of 1964 and compares the then state of the art with the current view from the Atlanta Conference. The thematic changes suggest that the shift of counseling psychology from its original roots in schools, colleges, and career development centers toward clinically oriented treatment embedded in a medical model may eliminate both our uniqueness and independent professional identity. It is further noted that such a shift is ironic, particularly in view of the growing body of developmental theory research and programs that form a substantive basis for the original Greyston model.
