Bobby Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, is a classic that has stood the test of time. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his visitations from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future are well known around the world regardless of where one lives or what one’s religious beliefs may be. It is a story of a mean, miserly fellow who said “Bah, humbug” whenever he was confronted with an opportunity to be kind or generous to others. Although the story was written in criticism of the industrial revolution’s effects on society, the story can also provide the careful reader with a layman’s understanding of how to foster the development of leaders and advocates in the counseling profession. Consider the following: • Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future so that he may see how his past and present actions will impact his future. An understanding of the counseling profession’s past and pres- ent can serve as a guide to where the profession wants to see itself in the future. Who were the past leaders, who are the current leaders, and who are the future leaders that will serve as guides? • The Ghosts forced Scrooge to look at his behaviors and the effects he has had on others’ lives. As a result, Scrooge had an opportunity to redeem himself and change his behaviors before it was too late. Looking at one- self is not always easy. Self-reflection takes courage. Effective leadership often requires the courage to look at situations and oneself with a criti- cal eye and to make changes. • Scrooge is transformed by his “theoretical” evening with the Ghosts. He is given an opportunity to change and he embraces it. His “bah, hum- bug” attitude is replaced with compassion, generosity, and service to others. Leaders realize that there comes a time when theory must be put into practice. Advocates realize that the counseling profession is built upon service to all. ix
