The challenges that faced by school psychologists in the educational process

Abstract

There are psychological support services and support areas that can help a person to have a healthy personality, to be harmonious and happy with themselves and their environment, to develop themselves, and to overcome psychological difficulties (Tan, 1992). One of these services is psychological counseling and guidance. Psychological counseling and guidance aims to help individuals who have difficulty finding effective solutions to the problems they experience. Seeking help from an expert in a matter, and having that expert guide the way to a solution, is as old as human history. Since ancient times, humankind has sought help from others when faced with a different situation and a difficulty. The concept of psychological counseling and guidance is within social life. By telling their troubles to someone they trust, people gain new information about the problem and can look at the problem from a new perspective. Thus, they can begin to see the unseen aspects of the problem better. However, the decisions that guide an individual's thoughts and actions are entirely their own (Tan, 2000).
