Abstract
This review will attempt to shed light upon the historical evolution of the Louisiana Journal of Counseling (LJC) by conducting a qualitative analysis of its published articles for the years 1999, 2001-2004, and 2006-2011. In order to conduct this analysis, we noted major author trends including: gender, professional title, and regional affiliation. In addition, we also highlighted five major subject areas that have emerged over the years, including: counselor identity, professional issues, counselor education and supervision, research and counseling techniques, and multiculturalism. From this analysis, we predicted possible future directions for this journal and highlighted some of the major findings.
