COUNSELLING
Meaning And Definition
According to Wren, 1951 “Counselling is personal and dynamic relationship
between two individuals-an older, more experienced and wiser ( counsellor)
and a younger, less experienced and less wise (counsellee). The latter has a
problem for which he seeks the help of the former. The two work together
so that the problem may be more clearly defined and the counsellee may be
helped to a self determined solution.
According to Roger “ Counselling does not mean providing a service by
means of which a specific problem of an individual may be solved. The
process should help the counsellee in gaining clear insight into the problem
and in achieving the self-confidence. ……. a definitely structured permissive
relationship which allows the client to gain an understanding of himself to a
degree which enables him to take positive steps in the light of his new
orientation”.
,According to Williamson “Counselling is a personalized and individualized
process designed to aid the individual to learn school subject matter,
citizenship tacts and other habits, skills, attitudes and beliefs which go to
make him a normally adjusted human being”.
