The purpose of this study is to investigate which competence is used and in what way leadership is exercised by guidance counselors in the role as a group counselor. The use of group guidance techniques is, according to the International Association for Educational and Vocational Guidance, IAEVG, (2018) part of the specialist competence for guidance counselors. Being able to use techniques for group guidance is one thing, practising leadership is another. For a group counselor, both parts are important. The role of a group counselor is thus influenced by both specific elements of competence for guidance counselors and by the interdisciplinary area of knowledge of leadership. We have used a phenomenological approach and a qualitative method to answer our research questions. Interviews have been conducted with eight professional guidance counselors about their experiences in the role as a group counselor. International research and theory in the areas of competence, leadership and group guidance shows that knowledge and skills are not sufficient for the role of group leader. The results of this study show that the group leader's knowledge and skills need to be combined with other elements of competence such as social ability, empathy, intuition, creativity and flexibility. The study also finds that situational leadership is relevant for group leaders, as the needs of the group vary during the different phases of group counselling. / Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilken kompetens som används och på vilket sätt ledarskap utövasav studie- och yrkesvägledare i rollen som gruppvägledare. Enligt International Association forEducational and Vocational Guidance, IAEVG, (2018) är användandet av tekniker för gruppvägledningen specialistkompetens för studie- och yrkesvägledare. Att kunna använda tekniker för gruppvägledningär en sak, att praktisera ledarskap är en annan. För en gruppvägledare är båda delarna viktiga. Rollensom gruppvägledare berörs således av dels specifika kompetenselement för studie- och yrkesvägledare,dels av det tvärvetenskapliga kunskapsområdet ledarskap. Vi har använt av oss en fenomenologisk ansats och en kvalitativ metod för att besvaraforskningsfrågorna. Intervjuer har genomförts med åtta yrkesverksamma studie - och yrkesvägledareom deras erfarenheter av rollen som gruppvägledare. Internationell forskning och teori inom områdenakompetens, ledarskap och gruppvägledning visar att kunskaper och färdigheter inte är tillräckligt förrollen som gruppvägledare. Resultatet av den här studien visar att gruppvägledarens kunskaper ochfärdigheter behöver kombineras med flera kompetenselement såsom social förmåga, empati, intuition,kreativitet och flexibilitet. Studien finner också att situationsanpassat ledarskap är relevant förgruppvägledare, då behoven hos gruppen varierar under gruppvägledningens olika faser.

The problem of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of two counseling procedures which were used with college students on academic probation. The functions of the problem were: 1. To determine whether there were any differences on selected variables among three groups of college students on academic probation who participated in individual counseling, in group guidance, or were given no formal counseling. 2. To determine the degree to which the relative effectiveness of group guidance, individual counseling, and no counseling was related to the scholastic aptitude of the students.

The problem of this study was to measure the effect of group counseling on visual imagery and selected personality factors of junior and senior level secondary school students. The purpose of this study was to determine if perception of visual images changed after group counseling. Also investigated was whether a concomital relationship existed among the perception of visual images and the self-concept, ascendance, and sociability.

The problem with which this investigation was concerned was to measure personal adjustment, emotional adjustment, home adjustment, and self-concept changes that took place in junior college students as a result of one-counselor group counseling and male-and-female co-counselor group counseling. The rationale for male-and-female co-counselor group counseling relied on the formation of a simulated family in which individuals could socialize their feelings.

The problem of this investigation was to examine the effects of three selected group guidance procedures on the interpersonal relationships of twelve through fifteen-year old inner-city youth.
