This document discusses guidance and counseling in education. It defines guidance as a process of helping individuals discover and develop their potential through their own efforts. Counseling is defined as a purposeful relationship where a trained person helps another change attitudes and behaviors. The key differences outlined are that guidance is more preventative and developmental by helping understand alternatives, while counseling is more remedial and in-depth by inward analysis and proposing solutions. There are also descriptions of the qualities of a good counselor and the components, principles, types (directive, non-directive, eclectic), and scope of guidance and counseling services.

than intellectual aspect
• main role of counselor is just to create an
atmosphere in whilient can work out his
problem

non-directive counseling, but follows a
middle path.
