Counselors and therapists with an existential orien-
tation feel that something more than accurate quantifiable
data is required for a student to make choices which will be
most meaningful and lasting to him. Rogers states that
"involved in . . . [the] process of becoming himself is a
profound experience of personal choice. ... Faced with
this naked reality of decision, he chooses to move in the
direction of being himself'* (6, p. 203). Barrett proclaims
in Irrational Man that
... any man who chooses or is forced to choose
decisively--for a lifetime, and therefore for eternity
since only one life is given us—experiences his own
existence as something beyond the mirror of thought.
He encounters the Self that he is, not in the detach-
ment of thought, but in the involvement and pathos of
choice (1, p. 163).
The suggestion is that the process of making the deci-
sion is possibly more important to the organismic growth of
the person than the correctness of the choice. He must be
willing to accept the responsibility for his choice and this
should enhance his self-concept and increase his confidence
and acceptance of himself. However, this approach does not
necessarily deny the validity nor the value of tests as aids,
Rather, it opposes their mechanical use for placement of
students thereby denying the individual his right and
responsibility to personally and subjectively make his own
choice with the benefit of the objective evidence.
