Overall, the manual is believed to take into consideration the traits of clients and be written from their perspectives. A few discussions are presented based on these findings.

This study aims to describe the relationships among risk-factors, self-efficacy and career maturity of adolescents. The data were collected from 196 middle and high school students in T city of Gangwon-do and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study are as follows. The highest risk-factors turn out to be male (P<.01), the second grade in middle school (p<.001), and the lowest academic achievement (p<.001). The risk factors of adolescents showed a negative correlation with self-efficacy and career maturity. Factors influencing career maturity and self-efficacy were family, school, and community factors. The findings suggest the necessity of developing counseling and education programs that can facilitate school adaptation when adolescents face a crisis situation.
