Abstract
Guidance and counselling is gradually being recognized and accepted as a helping profession, especially in the areas of education and persona-social issues. Although in the universities and colleges, students perceive guidance and counselling as unexciting due to unavailability of exciting reading materials. It is this conviction that motivated us to compile the text. Hence, our concern has been to present Guidance and Counselling to the beginners in such a way as will enable them to acquire the basic knowledge and interest in the course.
Throughout the book, the approach has been to simplify, as much as possible, the basic concepts and principles of Guidance and Counselling psychology without any loss of meaning. In terms of the scope, the book adequately covers the course contents as presently taught in the tertiary institutions of learning i.e. undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The book would equally be of immense value to practitioners, teachers, parents as well as students.
