> No offense taken - but I think that you have said you felt abused after your experience - I'm not sure that can be translated into the students experience.
We don't know the student's experience. Which is what I'm trying to point out. The doctor concludes they don't come for counselling because they are in a power struggle. I think it is just as possible that they find the counselling being offered distasteful or condescending or abusive or fill-in-the-blank and that is why they do not go. There are huge assumptions being made in the article about the student's motivations for not going to the school's counselling service. None of them look at the quality of the service being offered, only the quantity. I don't remember it being mentioned anywhere in the article that they did an indepth study of the student's reasons and opinions.
