THIS RESEARCH WAS DESIGNED TO EXPLORE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE EXPERIENCED SECONDARY SCHOOL COUNSELOR IN HIS OWN SCHOOL SETTING. IN ORDER TO STUDY THIS BEHAVIOR, A CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM WAS DEVELOPED BASED UPON COUNSELOR TRANSITION POINTS AND SUB-ROLES. USING THE 12 CATEGORIES DEVELOPED FOR THE STUDY, 66 INTERVIEWS WERE INVESTIGATED FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF FREQUENCY AND PATTERN OF SUB-ROLES. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT A CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM OF SCHOOL COUNSELOR BEHAVIOR COULD BE DEVELOPED AND THAT THIS METHOD OF RATING COUNSELOR BEHAVIOR WAS USEFUL AS A MEANS FOR STUDYING THE VARIOUS ROLES OF THE COUNSELOR IN THE INTERVIEW.
