Preferred term

recruitment: history and recent trends in diversity  

Definition

  • Early in the history of the psychology/counseling profession, few efforts were made to “recruit” culturally diverse persons; rather, diverse persons, typically through grassroots and organizational efforts, sought entry into psychology despite major resistance. This was especially true during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. [Source: Encyclopedia of Counseling; Recruitment: History and Recent Trends in Diversity]
