Counselling as a profession plays an important role in education reform in Hong Kong as it focuses on students and has a life-span developmental perspective. Gysbers, through this timely paper, introduces the concept and a concrete program on "Implementing a Whole School Approach to Guidance Through a Comprehensive Guidance Program." His proposal, whilst very comprehensive, practical and proven to be effective in the U.S., is valuable for counselling professionals on putting principle into practice in Hong Kong.
在教育改革的熱潮中，輔導專業的立場和方向，對改善教育素質有重要影響，特別在「人本」及「一生發展」這兩重點，輔導和教育在實踐及學理上都有共通點。Norman C. Gysbers的文章以輔導為中心，設計了一套課程及其執行方法和推動的策略。而這「學校為本的全方位輔導」在美國已推行多年，非常值得我們深思和參考。
