Effects of Group Treatment for College Underachievers and Bright Failing Underachievers

Mitchell, Kenneth R.; Piatkowska, Olga E.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, 21, 6, 494-501, Nov 74

This review presents findings of 31 treatment studies of college underachievers and bright failing underachievers, separately. The findings indicate that success rates were low and few clear relationships emerged between isolated variables and improvement in academic performance. Implications for future research and practical suggestions for the counselor are discussed. (Author)
