Abstrakt: Quality of life (QoL) as a measure in counseling research is rarely used. Measures for well-being or wellness take the place of the multi-dimensional concept of QoL in the work of many counselors. However, QoL measures are used widely in medical practice and related research. Therefore, counselors preparing to work in integrated care settings with other medical professionals, or counselors and researchers looking to expand their assessment options and knowledge, may benefit from understanding when and how to use QoL measures. This article provides an overview of the concept of QoL, a review of three QoL measures, and a case application to help familiarize counselors with the use of QoL measures. Future research with QoL in counseling applications is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
