Disciplinary Counseling: A Contradiction?

“…Such an objection appears to emanate from two sources: (1) the belief that the client cannot be helped through forced contact with a counselor, and (2) the counselor's ethical principle that he must not "impose his values" on others.

Dannells (1977) held that the most frequently stated objectives of disciplinary counseling were to help students generate insight into the sources and consequences of their misbehavior and to change their unacceptable behaviors by helping them to learn emotional stability, moral judgment, self-reliance, and self-control.…”
