Philosophical foundations of guidance

This book traces the history of the guidance function and shows the underlying assumptions of guidance, how they have evolved, and why. The book surveys all the philosophical literature in the field of guidance, aligning contemporary guidance with a major philosophical position and explaining the resulting implications. The author clarifies the needs of guidance, its developing trends, and some of the problems to be resolved in its philosophy. A European movement, Daseinanalyse, is discussed at length and related to guidance in the United States.
