development of the whole person and the fullest realization of his

potentialities for individual and social ends.

refuse the services it offers.

it is monitory in character, with no place for coercion.

7. Counseling implies assistance given to persons making wise

choices, plans, interpretations and adjustments in the critical

situation in life.

in his cultural setting by the use of every scientific method

available. Individual understanding precedes individual

assistance.

actualize his best self rather than in isolated problems, whether

What is the T heory of

Counseling for Filipinos?



T heory a set of assumptions from which a set of empirical laws or

principles may be derived.

1) A theory of counseling should identify general objectives and

goals which individuals may be aided to approximate as a result of the counseling relationship.

2) No theory of counseling is good if it prescribes identified goals of

attainment for every person, since such a theory violates the moral

right of the individual to choose his own goals.



3. A theory of counseling should identify, at least provisionally,

subject to experimentation and professional practice, the means or

techniques for working toward the end goals selected by the

individual.

4. A theory of counseling should indicate or delineate, desirable and

desired forms of human development

5. The forms and the pattern, as well as the quality, of interpersonal

relationship involved in human development should at least be

implicit in a theory of counseling.



6) Some attention must be given in a theory of counseling to societys concern

and interest in individual human development.

7) A theory of counseling within education should identify and suggest

alternative and optional standards or modes of excellence or value

hierarchies in human development.

8) A theory of counseling should structure means of helping each individual

appraise, evaluate, and employ his potentiality and aspirations, and then

choose from among the role models, or value commitments, that are

available, those which will serve as guidelines in his own development.

9) A theory of counseling should point to, and serve as guidelines toward the

direction of human development.
