Maximum sampling, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used in the determination of the study group. Content analysis method is used to analyze data that determined by interviews. Coder reliability was tested by two researchers and the reliability coefficient was .82. Research findings show that most psychological counselors are not satisfied with the Guidance Services Regulation.

Most psychological counselors agree that the regulation should be revised and at least reinstated.
