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.
