Behavioral Counseling: Rationale and Research

Abstract

The criteria for judging the success of counseling for any given client must be based on the requests of that client. Counseling consists of whatever ethical activities a counselor undertakes in an effort to help the client engage in those types of behavior which will lead to a resolution of the client's problems. Like all professional persons, the counselor may elect to limit the problems with which he works on the basis of his own interests, competencies, and ethical standards. Evidence is accumulating that a counselor can act effectively to promote career planning, improve test‐wiseness, increase social participation, increase deliberating and decision behavior, make test results acceptable, and modify unrealistic decisions. Accomplishment of clients' goals, not adherence to prescribed procedures, should be the mark of a successful counselor.
