Popis:	Has the relatively new field of counseling developed like other, older fields? And how have they developed, as mirrored in the titles to articles in principal journals? Eighteen journals, including five in the field of counseling, were sampled. Approximately 24,500 titles were analyzed for changes in length and/or complexity over time. All but the three newest journals, those founded since 1970, showed a distinct trend of longer, more complex titles, suggesting that as fields mature, they become more complex. © 1991 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
