摘要：The word counselling appeared during the ‘50 in the USA and during the ‘70 in Europe, particularly with referenceto U.K. In Danon’s opinion (2003) it deals with an activity that is essentially pragmatic, whose ultimate aim lies inoffering orientation and support to the students. According to this proposal, one of its principal field of applicationhas concerned the reintegration of the war veterans in the American society after the Second World war, in order toface the contingent necessities of giving help and consulting, adopting approaches faster than psychotherapy(Biggio, 2005). Later this activity was employed in different domains of the society.Lots of authors agree that the counselling field can be divided in specific branches of application (society, work,school, university) and remark that the main essence of this activity consists in giving people the opportunity to puttheir own resources into action in case of need.
