Abstract
Trent and Donohue suggest that for many years county Extension agents have been performing the role of a "counselor" without knowing it. They present a case for it being a valid function with a real need existing for people to have a sounding board- someone to listen to them. They don't propse that Extension agents become professional counselors, but that courses in the field of human behavior be included in their graduate training programs to fill this void.
