Review of Guidance practices at work

Abstract

Reviews the book, Guidance practices at work by C. E. Erickson and M. C. Happ (1946). This book is a compilation of descriptions of guidance activities, procedures, and techniques gathered by the authors from a large number of school officials and teachers in a great many different schools, with brief introductory and summary remarks by Erickson and Happ. The book is presumably designed to show practitioners and students of guidance how the various aspects of a guidance program are carried on in a variety of schools, and to serve as a source of ideas for improving local practice. Unfortunately, the quality of the material included in this compilation is very uneven. The frequently meaningless comments of the general authors do little to improve the impression caused by the poor selection of material. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
