A follow-up study of personal counseling versus counseling by letter

Abstract

To compare the relative effectiveness of counseling by personal interview and by letter, a follow-up of counseled cases was made with a questionnaire regarding reactions to counseling, aid in job-seeking, and improvement in morale and self-confidence. Both groups reported the counseling service helpful. Differences between the responses of the 2 groups were in general not statistically reliable, but what differences there were favored the personal interview counseling.
