Dimensions of Counselling: N.M.M. Safeek Department of Education Psychology

The document discusses the dimensions of counseling and its development over time. It begins by noting that early counseling lacked a theoretical base and ways to diagnose. It then discusses various approaches from the 1960s onwards to establish counseling as a profession, including defining counselors as behavioral scientists. In the 1970s, three dimensional analyses and approaches were presented to provide a methodological framework for counseling. This included targeting counseling at the individual, family, group or community level; focusing on treatment, prevention or development; and using direct service, consultation, or media-based methods of intervention. The document concludes by outlining these three dimensions in more detail.
