The scope of guidance is too wide. In the words of Crow and Crow,
“Guidance touches every aspect of an individual’s personality-
physical, mental, emotional and social. It is concerned with all aspects
of an individual’s attitudes and behavior patterns. It seeks to help the
individual to integrate all of his activities in terms of his basic
potentialities and environmental opportunities.”
Any needy person can be guided.This can include the persons of
different age, different interests, various characteristics and persons
of different nature. Hence, we cannot draw boundaries around the
process of guidance.
The Scope Of Guidance

The following factors are responsible for the expansion of the
scope of guidance.
1. Complex nature of personality. Industrialization brings
with it a number of tensions such as adjustment with the job,
with the place of work, with the physical and social
environment, and also with the advancements of technology
and modernization.To cope with all these, guidance is
essential. So the scope of guidance in the field of adjustment
with almost all spheres of life has increased.

2. Complexity of Occupation. In the process of industrialization,
automation and cybernetics, many new occupations are coming
up and a few old occupations are dying. In U.S.A., an average
man changes seven occupation through his life.The trend is
bound to effect as the process of development will need very
complex sophisticated and complicated occupations for which
higher educational background and intensive training will be
necessary.This complexity is bound to increase the scope of
guidance in so many ways.
3. Complexity ofTraining. For the new jobs, new type of
training, new courses of studies, use of new types of machines
and above all to prepare oneself for employment in the changing
world are some of the problems which will have to be tackled in
an effective way, with the help of guidance.The scope of
guidance will be to put right man in the right job.

4. Increasing Areas.With the passing of time and complexity of
circumstances, scholars like Brewer have prepared about 10 areas of
guidance i.e., educational, vocational, religious, home relationship,
citizenship, leisure time and recreation, personal well-being, right
doing, cooperation and cultural action.The fact remain that more
complex the society, more will be the need for guidance.
5. Migration. Because of industrialization process, people move from
one state to other states. In India, the states are quite different in their
religion, culture, mode of living, dress, eating habits and marriages.
When they move from one social set up to another one, the problem of
adjustment becomes serious for which guidance is needed.
The similar types of adjustment problems are found when the people
from one country migrate to another country for employment,
education or training, for which guidance if required.

6. The Expansion of Education.The days are gone when only a few
privileged were to be educated. Now, education has become asset for the
nation and right placement of persons need a lot of guidance.
7. Areas of guidance. The Scope of guidance is classified into several
areas where and individual needs guidance.These areas can be classified
into educational guidance, vocational guidance, personal guidance, social
guidance, a vocational guidance and Health guidance.
Thus guidance is a continuous, complex, dynamic and comprehensive
process. Guidance is concerned with educational, vocational and other
problems along with personal problems. Guidance work can occur
anywhere and can be provided even through magazines, books and
correspondence.
