AB - Relations among various client and counselor characteristics and engagement in counseling for more than one session were examined. Participants were 9 practicum counselors (5 women, 4 men) and 203 of their clients (128 women, 75 men) who had come to a university counseling center for the first time. After the initial interview, clients and counselors rated each other on several characteristics. Thirty-six percent of the clients returned for more than one counseling session. Counselors' perceptions of clients as more disturbed and counselors' desire to see the clients were positively associated with clients' returning for counseling after intake. Identification of concerns for clients by counselors at intake was also positively related to engagement in counseling.
