Relationship between Social Science and Applied Social Science
Social Science is a set of academic disciplines, concerned with society and the
relationships among individuals within a society. Positivist social scientists use
methods resembling those of the natural science as tools for understanding society,
and so define science in its stricter modern sense.
Differences among the Applied Social Sciences
Applied Sciences refers to the science as proven or accepted theories are

applied to almost anything. Social Sciences is a small sub set of that, limited to social
constructs and the function of government or societies, and political philosophies. A
very large difference.
Social Science are group of academic disciplines that examine society and how
people interact and develop as a culture. Social Science as a field of study is separate
from the natural sciences, which cover topics such as physics, biology, and chemistry.
Economics, political science, history, law, and geography are considered social
sciences.
In conclusion, Social Science is a study, it is what you learn in school, and on

the other hand, Applied Social Science are the works and professions that need the
learnings obtained by studying Social Sciences .

Concept Notes:
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF COUNSELING
LISTENING. Imagine you are trying to tell a story of you ending in a situation you did
not want to a friend and instead listening to you, your friend judgedyou and gave
negative comments, what would you feel? Bad isn’t it? That is exactly what a
counselor should not do. A counselor DOES NOT give any interpretations and
premature suggestions to deal with the problems of the client. He only listens and
understands the concerns being presented because most people want and needto be
heard and understood, not advised, right?
RESISTANCE. Whenever a change happens to you, do you easily cope with it? Do you
easily accept it? Sometimes, we don’t especially if we are so used to something that
suddenly changes. That is normal. Changing human behavior is not easy. People
change at different rates depending on how prepared they are to the changes. And
because of this, a counselor shall never judge his client’s resistance to change, but
rather he shall keep patient in the coping up process of the client about the changes.
RESPECT. We all see people who are weird, I know you met one too, but others judge
and sometimes laugh at a person because he acts different from the others. Do you
want to be laughed at? Of course not, because everyone is different from one another,
but even so, we shall not judge any individual because he is different. This trait is also
common to counselors. They don’t judge, and they always respect everyone no matter
how different he is from others. This basic element is very important for the therapy to
succeed.
Division of Bohol
EMPATHY AND POSITIVE REGARD: Whenever someone listens to us without
discrimination and judgement, we feel loved and respected and it results to EMPATHY.
Because the counselor listens without discrimination, and understands the feelings
and perspective of the client, the counselor gives empathy.
CLARIFICATION. This one speaks an attempt by the therapist to clarify what the
client is either saying, feeling, or expressing so the client may learn something or
better yet understand his issues better. REMEMBER that therapist only help the
clients to solve their problem, on their own. Confrontation and interpretation are also
part of this principle but they are more advanced principles and we won’t go into them
except to mention their existence.
TRANSFERENCE. To whom do you easily open up share your secrets and deepest
wants? I know you share that to a person so close to you, a person who will not judge
you, right? This is also applied by counselors in therapy sessions. Transference is the
act wherein the counselor pretends or projects like your most trusted person so you
will easily open up your problems. It helps you make the listening and sharing of
problems easier.
COUNTERTRANSFERENCE on the other hand is the reaction and emotions of the

counselor towards other people important in his life applied to the client to make the
process friendlier. These two makes the relationship of the counselor and the client
much stable making the healing process easier.

Roles of Counselors:
Division of Bohol
Here in the Philippines, Counseling is a profession (R.A. 9258 also known as
the Guidance and Counseling Act of 2004) that allows you to help others manage their
responses to life’s challenges (Cleofe et al., 2015). It is more than just listening, it is
“active listening”; it’s more emphatic, it’s caring; the relationship of client and
therapist/counselor are guided by rules and regulations (Code of Ethics, R.A. 9258) so
as to protect not only the Counselors, but also the rights of clients. And as the
counseling profession evolves, so do their roles and functions to adapt in the changing
times, to response to various changes such as, economic, social and technological.
And this changes also affects clients. Most especially in the academic or school
setting, the role of a counselor is important in the school to assist students in their
academic well-being (Cleofe et al, 2015). Some examples of these are the increasing
number of students whose parents that are overseas workers; the better facilitation of
students’ learning by addressing their behavioral concerns; progress in knowledge and
use of technology in the classroom; and cultural diversity in the classrooms by having
students from either different regions in the country or different countries. Given this
situation, the guidance counselors are considered important members of the
educational team. They provide assistance to students’ academic pursuit, socio-
economic need, career plans and moral development. In this way, the guidance and
counseling program ensures that students are able to cope well with their
circumstances. This results in nurturing students who shall be responsible and
productive members of society.

Concept Notes:
Functions of Counselors (part 1)
1. Providers of individual and group counseling services. School counselors take

an active role in counseling groups or individuals. In a school setting, professional
counselors are equipped not only in helping individuals understand themselves, but
also in providing correct evaluation of either behavioral or clinical problems a student
may have.
2. Developmental classroom guidance specialists. Professional counselors also

prepare lessons and implement guidance instructions to students. These are executed
by developing clear and measurable objectives to meet the needs of the students. To
meet these objectives, professional counselors deliver talks, seminars, workshop, and
other interesting activities. Lastly, professional counselors improve their programs and
mode of instruction through consistent feedback and evaluation.
3. Leaders and advocates of academic success. Professional school counselors have

an ethical responsibility of promoting academic success by helping students identify
barriers affecting school performance. These barriers may be personal (example: living
with an absentee or separated parents); socio-emotional (ex. peer pressure); moral
dilemmas (ex. failing an exam or cheating to pass an exam), or career-related barriers
(ex. indecisiveness about a course in college). Professional counselors guide the
students by identifying strategies so they can positively cope with these challenges and
see these challenges as opportunities for growth.
4. Career development specialists. Professional counselors also provide activities

that will prepare students for the demands and requirements of their chosen
profession. These activities include formal writing of resumes, having proper responses
to job interviews and knowing appropriate clothing for job applications. Furthermore,
to ensure proper coping and success in the workplace, professional counselors help
students develop essential, basic skills such as effective communication, creativity,
decision-making, critical thinking, and work ethics.

Functions of Counselors (part 2)
5. Agents of diversity and multiculturalism. Professional school counselors are

trained to deal with and address the needs of people from different cultural
backgrounds. For example, because of the ASEAN Integration foreign students study
in our country; counselors may provide assistance to these foreign students through
activities that allow interaction with Filipino students, aimed at helping them cope
with their new environment. At the same time, the counselor will also carry out a
program for the Filipino students, aimed at helping them demonstrate hospitality,
respect, and understanding for their foreign classmates.
6. Advocates of students with special needs and students-at-risk. Professional

counselors give attention to students with special needs-such as the athletes, honor
students, students with absentee parents, those with learning disabilities and other
clinically diagnosed students. They are special groups who need additional assistance
to help them cope better-by providing comprehensive assessment programs to better
understand and address their special needs. For example, students with absentee
parents might have stronger needs-in comparison with students whose parents are
always around-for social and emotional support. With this, the counselor may help
them become engaged in extracurricular activities or he or she could even organize a
symposium that will help them become more adjusted with their situation. With
professional counselors also concerned with the promotion of mental health, they
Division of Bohol
could also organize activities that will help students understand depression, anxiety,
phobia or addiction
7. Advocates of a safe school environment. Conflicts, which may lead to violence,

happen in some school communities. For instance, there are issues on bullying-
physical, verbal, cyber, psychological, etc. nowadays. Hence, a comprehensive school
counseling program with intervention components such as school bullying campaign
and peer and mentoring can address this issue.
8. School and community collaboration specialists. To ensure student’s holistic

development and success, professional school counselors work in collaboration with
the other school authorities and with the parents of the students. For example, they
cooperate with teachers to better assist students with learning difficulties or

behavioral problems. At times, school counselors are tasked to prepare seminar to
facilitate teachers’ better understanding of the personality dynamics of students.
Though conferences, counselors collaborate with the parents to best facilitate and
promote excellent academic performance of the students.

HOSPITALS AND MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES.

Division of Bohol
Have you been in an accident? What do you think will happen to you if you suddenly
know that you cannot walk anymore? What will you do? Or in another instance, do
you ever wonder about people with mental problems? Drug addictions? The counselors
that cure them are called Rehabilitation Counselors and Mental Health Counselors.
The first counselor if for helping people with physical disabilities and the other is for
helping people with mental disorders and diseases and drug abusi.ng problems.
CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES/PRISONS.
If you violate the law, what would be its punishment? If proven that you committed a
crime where will you be? Do you think you will like to be in one? NO. People are sent
to prisons because they committed crimes and violations against the law, and many
people do it so there are also a counselor responsible for correcting their actions and
bringing light in the life of these people so they could be freed. These counselors are
called Correctional Counselors. Let us always remember that everybody makes
mistakes, right?
PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PRACTICE.

Employees need constant guidance in order to function well in their field of work. Let
say you are an employee, would you not be needing any assistance regarding different
changes that you will be needing in coping up with your new work? Of course, you do,
we all are and that is why we also have a counselor to do that. These counselors make
sure that the employees are healthy especially in mentally and psychologically.
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Again, just like last time, education is the key to success so we always need to improve
it. There are also problems in the education for in it lurk different types of students.
Lately, we heard a big news about a student bringing a gun inside the campus and
killing schoolmates. Brutal, isn’t it? These are examples that best describes the duty of
the guidance and school counselors.
SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES.

Like what we discussed yesterday, social problems are the biggest dilemma of the
country. And because of that we have social services counselors. We can commonly
find them in the Social Institutions, Non-Governmental Organizations and Charities
helping
our less fortunate people in any aspect that they can. If you have any questions and
queries feel free to ask teacher!
