The terms ‗guidance‘ and ‗counselling‘ have been loosely or interchangeably used. Guidance is a term which is broader than counseling and it includes counseling as one of its services. Butter makes a logical separation of the counseling process i.e. (i) adjustive and (ii) distibutive phase. In the adjustive phase, the emphasis is on social, personal and emotional problems of the individual, in the distributive phase the focus is upon educational, vocational and occupational problems. The ‗distributive phase‘ can be most aptly described as ‗guidance‘ while the ‗adjustive‘ phase can be considered as description of ‗counselling‘.
