Methods

 Directive Method
Directive counseling seems to be most
successful when the counselee is relatively well
adjusted, the problem is in an intellectual area,
a lack of information constituted the problem,
the counselee has little insight into the
problem, inner conflict is absent, and the client
suffers from anxiety, insecurity, or impatience .
 Eclectic Method
The result of selecting concepts from both
directive and nondirective approaches. Thus, the
eclectic counselor uses whatever approach seems
best suited to the situation. Real help given to
most students in schools would be located
between the highly directive and the eclectic
views rather than client centered

 Anecdotal Records
