[Review of Behavior and Guidance of Students in College and Secondary School

Abstract

Reviews the books, Behavior and Guidance of Students in College and Secondary School and Counseling Techniques in College and Secondary School , both by Ruth Strang (1937). The reviewer states that these two volumes constitute the second and third of a series of five by the author on the general field of guidance in educational institutions. The emphasis is more on personal or personality guidance, although vocational aid is naturally bound up in the discussion. Further, volume II is chiefly concerned with adjustment. Volume III aims to give more practical techniques of counseling. Overall, there is one limitation of this work--the absence of a suggested constructive program. Possibly a few case studies, reproduced more or less verbatim from actual interviews, with objective data which are to be considered interspersed, would give constructive advice of value.
