Abstract

Contends that the college or university is the last convenient or feasible opportunity which the psychological profession has to aid late adolescents or young adults in any large numbers. Obviously, the earlier that any maladjustment can be corrected, the more economical in every sense that is--a strong reason for helping young people in college rather than waiting a few years until their troubles may have become more serious. A college or university also presents an exceptionally favorable situation in which a psychologist may carry on the activities of studying an individual and of arranging his experiences so that past difficulties in his adjustment may be overcome and so that new balance, new strength, and new freedom to live to the utmost of his capacity may be established.
