Abstract: Very few counselors are available with the time and expertise to counsel with adults, Dannenmaier (1964) pointed out that a search of the literature for articles written specifically on counseling adults for the period of time from 1945 until 1963 revealed that only two articles had been published.He stated that there is a great need for research and writing in this area.Shaw (1969) devoted a portion of his recently published book on adult education to a discussion of counseling adults.This new publication fails to offer any new statements on techniques or thinking regarding adult counseling.This author merely presents material found in any basic textbook on principles and practices of school guidance and counseling.Thus the lack of atten tion stated b y Dannenmaier in 1964 exists today.Stiller (1967, p. 8 ) cites the fact that there is no resource offering general counseling help for an adult or school dropout to assist him in clarification of his thinking and understandings or to help him make decisions.Within this need of general counseling for adults there exists a concern of even greater magnitude.This is the need to provide counseling assistance for adult members of racial and ethnic groups who are uneducated or undereducated.As a consequence of their low educational level and a lack of counseling assistance, these persons find Chapter V includes a review of the study, conclu sions and recommendations for further research.
