- Title
Attaining the Promise of Guidance for All.
- Authors
Hoyt, Kenneth B.
- Abstract
In this article, the author focuses on various activities that the American Personnel and Guidance Association has been performing over the years in context of it promises to manpower research and services. He points certain practical issues that the Association and its counselors are facing and probably will face in future. The first such issue has to do with the phony finality of guidance services as they exist in specific settings at the present time. The increasing complexity of society is making it more and more difficult to assert that guidance is ever complete for any individual. Counselors in any setting should suggestively become more concerned about the timeliness of guidance services they offer and less concerned about the timeless effects resulting from the provision of such services. The phrase "Guidance for All" is used which has been applied most often in the school setting as meaning "all students in a school." Another issue to be considered by those who assert that guidance is for all has to do with personal value systems of the recipients of guidance. That personal values must be considered here seems obvious in that the basic concepts of guidance are, themselves, values that we prize highly. The author, on a whole, suggests that counselors in various work settings must concentrate on further differentiation in guidance methods and materials appropriate for performance of various specialized guidance functions.
