No, it is a question of getting to the heart of the matter and answering the most pressing questions from parents and students by assessing the most representative existing methods. Because, well, we're all very busy. We are not going to review all the new methods with nebulous foundations that only originate from their author's imagination. Is this analysis strictly scientific?

It's hard to imagine the work required to set up serious guidance experiments conducted by psychological researchers, with controllable variables and follow-up over 20 years or more, on a sufficiently representative sample of students. This is probably impossible otherwise we can guess that all the experts in state research centers on these issues, of which the author is not a part of, would have published a guide for the public based on these questions a long time ago.

A fine analysis of guidance methods, their limits and their interest so that you stop being fooled by the guidance industry, concentrating on the essential, because you have understood it, it's important not to waste anyone's time.
