Abstract

The author contends that counseling becomes a process of assisting, facilitating, and encouraging change in perception. To handle this theoretically, requires a personality theory in which traditional learning theory would play but a very minor role. It is proposed that almost any personality theory is a more effective guide to practice than the best our traditional learning theories have so far produced.
