This article briefly discusses some circumscribed important areas where social and counseling psychology interface. Some of the historical routes of the interface are noted and the effect of this work is addressed. It is concluded that considerable progress has been made in translating social psychology research into counseling research and practice but that much more remains to be investigated. We note that most of the research and practice advances have come from social to counseling psychology. Counseling psychologists are encouraged to contribute to the interface and advance our general knowledge of human behavior. The article concludes by introducing the four companion articles in this special issue and the final summary article.
