It is concerned with problems of living, making one"s way in life. Because counselling has been concerned with settings (e. g. , school, work, family) and tasks or transactions with the environment, the field has been largely ecological in orientation. It is developmental in orientation, intended to solve not only immediate problems but to enable the person to live more effectively and fruitfully in the future. Individual assessment: systematically identify client"s characteristics and potential, promotes client"s self-understanding, helps counsellor understand clients better, standardized test results are the most frequently used objective data, observation and self-report also used. Methods: projective tests, play therapy, dream analysis, free association defense mechanisms identification, displacement, overcompensation (reaction formation) , not abnormal behaviour and: person-centered theory (carl rogers) stresses client"s capability and responsibility to identify appropriate solutions and ways to cope with reality potential emphasizes the innate for self-growth develop one"s potential (as in individual psychology)
