Locus of control, personal control, and the counselling of children with learning and/or behaviour problems

Pages 27-46 | Accepted 13 Mar 1996, Published online: 16 Oct 2007
 

Abstract

It is widely claimed that locus of control represents an important focus for the counselling of children with learning and/or behaviour difficulties. But the concept is widely misunderstood and often confused with other important control-related constructs. The meaning of a number of key constructs is clarified. An approach to counselling is advocated which recognises the heuristic and therapeutic value of employing these in a discrete, yet integrated fashion.
