TRAINING FOR DECISION-MAKING IN GROUPS IN A UNIVERSITY LABORATORY

Abstract

Many universities offer a full range of special services extending from vocational counseling to long-term therapeutic treatment. It is traditional to provide medical and psychiatric services for students, either in a medical department, a counseling bureau or a psychological clinic in the Department of Psychology. Generally speaking these services are intended to help the student who is having difficulty in adjusting to the academic or social aspects of university life. They are not intended as basic training programs aiding students in the acquisition of new skills useful in social functioning or decision-making.
