Weakness of guidance and counseling
of the book
Consider
most of the individuals as normal persons, according to this principle the
majority of the persons seeking guidance and counseling should be considered as
normal persons and it should be ensured that every normal or abnormal person
may take advantage from guidance. Often this thinking develops that the service
should be given to those persons only who are in some problem. It is not true
that the guidance program is only for problematic clients.
Guidance
and counseling is associated to be used only is school, This fact that guidance
and counseling is a very good profession that must be applicable in many,
places like hospital, church, home, market and other place but always it is
implicated in hospital and school to the students only so as to prepare them to
be successful in life,
Guidance and counseling should be
provided by the professional counselor and not depend or rely on so-called knowledgeable persons as their
“guidance persons” such traditional guidance persons include parents, elders,
friends, teachers, principals, title holders, traditional rulers, religious
heads such as priest/pastors, imams and native doctors.
Tolerance
of the counselors is not much emphasized, it is important that counselor to
practice tolerance with his /her client and unnecessary duress on the client is
totally unacceptable. Also, the need to be objective in counseling relationship
is important and one need to be impersonal in your dealing with the client and
be objective with your view, offer options that are clear and understood by the
client, merits and demerits spelt out very clearly so that the client is very
clear of the kinds of decisions he/she is going to make. Counselor’s views
should to be imposed on the client.
