Abstract

A basic concern of school guidance programs is to assist the growth and development of students in all areas of development. Norman Sprinthall (1972) states that our schools have been ineffective in achieving these developmental goals of guidance. Why have schools been ineffective in meeting the developmental needs of students? According to Glanz (1964), guidance and counselor-education programs have been based on insufficient theoretical "soil," i.e., guidance in educational practice has had no adequate basis in theory. The reason that guidance and counselor-education programs have been based on insufficient theoretical foundations is articulated in Leona Tyler's book, The Work of the Counselor (1961). She states that there is no comprehensive theory developed in the guidance field. As a result, guidance as a profession has borrowed "bits and pieces" from a variety of theories in various fields.
