Reframing Student Counseling from the Multiple-Intelligences Perspective:

Integrating Talent Development and Personal Growth

David W. Chan

Abstract

The theory of multiple intelligences proposed by Gardner (1983, 1993, 1999) and its applications in learning, teaching, curriculum and assessment are briefly described. Counseling through multiple intelligences, as one of its potential applications, is suggested as an avenue to achieve the integration of talent development and personal growth in students. The three-stage model of counseling process in exploration, understanding, and action is reframed in relation to engaging student and teacher's multiple intelligences, highlighting the importance of personal intelligences throughout the stages of counseling process. Implications of this reframing for the use of creative arts in counseling and counselor training are discussed.
