Conspiracy of silence: psychiatric counseling with students at high risk for academic failure
JK Kuehn and JL Kuehn
The authors examined the academic records and counseling histories of 132
freshman students at a state university who sought psychiatric counseling.
They found that most students with poor previous academic performance were
not helped academically by brief (crisis intervention) psychiatric
counseling. They also found that many couselors resisted confronting such
students with their academic inadequacies.
