SCOPE

Psychometric approach to Psychological counselling helps client breaking down perception of self and the surroundings into 'grades' so that perception can be scaled. Scaling helps the client and counselor to understand extent of success and failure of the counselling across different target areas for intervention. This approach is non-clinical and non-labeling. Client becomes able to construct and reconstruct the environment. Client more readily takes ownership of their treatment goals and progress when asked to rate them on a scale.

This approach has some assumptions :
(a) Individuals are healthy and competent.
(b) They have the innate capacity to construct solutions and meanings that can enhance their lives.
(c) Individual is able to scale own abilities, self-concept and treatment goal.
(d) Individuals do not resist change; they in fact want to change.
(e) Scaling the change helps both counselor and the client to reduce counseling time.
