This handbook orients counselors to the counseling needs engendered by the curriculum program of the Thirteen College Consortium. In addition to providing an overview of the philosophy and objectives of the counseling program, the book describes the general and special services to be provided by counselors. Also described are the techniques and processes of counseling for the Consortia Program, evaluation instruments and evaluation procedures, and a detailed model for a counseling program. Within the program framework, the counselor acts as a central unifying force by helping to meet both immediate and long-term student needs, by acting as an advocate of student views, by serving as a source of support and understanding for individual students, and by monitoring programs and student progress for the purposes of continued improvement.
