Summary:

This revision of the original book "How to Counsel Students" (see record 1940-06237-000) covers only Part One of the first volume and centers around a new formulation of the broadened role of counseling in education. Stress is placed upon counseling as a form of personalized and individualized assistance to adolescents as they develop their full personalities in a societal and school context of other personalities and social processes and institutions. Counseling is seen as one of many means used in democratic society to conserve, utilize, and foster the full development of its human resources through the optimum development of each member. The author's conception of counseling is not restricted to the current emphasis on counseling as psychotherapy on the one hand, or the use of counseling techniques within a clinic on the other. This broadened repertoire of counseling techniques needs to be utilized in classrooms, and in many other places where students grow and learn. The author seeks to regain a balanced emphasis upon the several aspects of a broad-gauged program in which teachers, clinicians and administrators all play important, though differing, roles in the over-all modern collegiate way of life.
