Individual eminence in counseling psychology was examined through a textbook citation analysis conducted on four current textbooks and the three most recent Annual Review of Psychology chapters on counseling psychology. For the 223 leading authors in this textbook citation study, data on individual research productivity in psychology (from 1980 to 1990), and on a subset of eight journals of special importance for counseling psychology (also from 1980-1990) was obtained from the PsycLIT data base. An estimate of the scholarly impact of these authors was obtained from citation counts from the 1987 through 1990 volumes of the Social Sciences Citation Index.
