The Study of Consultation for Supporting Teachers: The Case of a Female Junior High School Student who must decide her Course

Abstract

Consultation is regarded as an important activity of school counseling. In Japan, various experts should get together, discuss, and support each other to solve the various complicated problems at school. In this study, I am going to think over the effective consultation of teachers to solve the problems of the female junior high school student who must decide what course should take. In this case, although the teacher want to solve the problem, the teacher’s action for the student kept the bad relation between the student and her mother. I shared this vicious circle with the teacher and urged him to change his action to solve the problem. Through this case, we need to think of the system including not only the student and her family but also family and teacher. Giving teachers the opportunity to use their specialty effects on solving problems. I discussed about the possibility to make consultation for teachers effective.
