Kiselica, PhD, HSPP, NCC, LPC <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Mark Kiselica<\/strong>, vice provost and professor of counseling at TCNJ, has been ranked one of the top scholars in the  counseling profession based on a recent content analysis of the <em>Journal of Counseling and <\/em><em>Development<\/em> (<em>JCD<\/em>), the premier publication of the American Counseling Association.<\/p>\n<p>A team of researchers from Louisiana Tech University conducted the analysis of 627 articles that appeared in <em>JCD<\/em> for the period 1996 through 2006. In their findings, which were published in a recent issue of <em>JCD<\/em>, Kiselica was ranked as the fourth leading scholar based on his  seven contributions to the journal during this 10-year period.<\/p>\n<p>The articles focus on understanding and confronting societal  challenges, including ethnocentrism and racism, anti-Semitism and  self-mutilation, challenge biases within the counseling field, and  support counseling as a means to increase social justice and quality of  life. Kiselica, a dedicated mentor and proponent of student  scholarship, co-authored four of these articles with TCNJ students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with Mark was empowering,\u201d said <strong>Laurie (MacAniff) Zila MA \u201998<\/strong>, a former  student and co-author of one of the articles. \u201cI was a novice in the  field at the time we collaborated, yet Mark treated me with the utmost  respect and collegiality&#8230;I learned not only how to effectively  research and write in the field of counseling, but also how to trust my  abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kiselica is a licensed psychologist and a nationally certified  counselor who has worked in a number of clinical and educational  settings and provides consulting services to mental-health centers and  schools throughout the United States. He has authored over 130  publications and 100 conference presentations, and has appeared as an  expert on NBC National News, MSNBC, NPR, and numerous major network  affiliates.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently editor of the Routledge Book Series on Counseling and  Psychotherapy with Boys and Men. Advocacy for teenage fathers and  at-risk boys comprises another major theme in Kiselica\u2019s scholarly work.<\/p>\n<p>On top of his extensive work as a writer, researcher and scholar,  Kiselica is deeply engaged in the TCNJ community, colleagues say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMark Kiselica inspires and encourages both intellectual and  emotional development in his students like no other faculty member that I  have known,\u201d said <strong>Mark S. Woodford<\/strong>, chair of the Department of  Counselor Education. \u201cHis commitment to his students and to our  community of teacher-scholars is extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vice provost and professor of counseling has been ranked one of the top scholars in the counseling profession based on a recent content analysis of the &#8220;Journal of Counseling and Development (JCD),&#8221; the premier publication of the American Counseling Association. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5667,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,17,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-february-2011","category-in-focus","category-on-campus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
