Abstract
The purpose of this article is to focus on the counseling function of school guidance personnel. In this article, the authors present a general model within which this counseling function occurs. Various areas of concern for gifted students are discussed; for example, personal and social concerns; education concerns, career concerns. These are not offered as distinct, sterile categories of students' concerns. Nor are students themselves being placed in "pigeon- holes". Rather, a loose, flexible structure is suggested within which these concerns or areas of interest can be placed and examined. As a result, school counselors and others can better understand and provide for these concerns of gifted and talented youngsters.
