perspective of councelling

The perspective of counseling may change from counselor to counselor.Their are differences in training, client and setting and even goals.But the basic perspective of counseling remains the same through with different emphasis.The basic examples are the three different definitions of counseling given by Good (1945) Pepnsky (1954) and Wrenn (1951)

Good defines counseling as the "Individualized and personalized assistance with personal,educational, vocational problems, in which all partinents facts are studied  and analyzed  and a solution is sought, often with the assistanse of specialist, school and community resources and personal interviews in which the counselee is taught to make his own decision.

Pepinsky "counseling is a process involving an interaction btn a counsellor and a client in a private setting, worth the purpose of helping the client change his/her behaviour so that a satisfactory resolution of needs may be obtained"
