Reasons for Not Using University Counseling Services
In this study, the authors specifically examined why students do not use counseling services offered at the university. The findings show that other alternatives such as talking to friends and failure to understand the magnitude of their problems caused students not to use counseling services. This will be of help because it gives a historical perspective of the topic as it was done close to forty decades ago.
