Abstract

This paper discusses the application of Gardner's (1983) Theory of Multiple Intelligence to the counselling of children, particularly young children, who have not developed the language required for more verbally orientated counselling sessions. Specifically this paper asks: Does Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence have an application to counselling theory, and if so how would this theory impact on counselling practice?
