Training competent counselors requires quality programs. Amongst the approaches of quality assurance in higher education, accreditation is the most extensive one with an explicit judgment about meeting the minimum necessary standards. However, there has been no specified policy for quality assurance of various counselor training programs in Iran. In this study, with the aim of identifying the minimum essential components to propose  comprehensive and concise accreditation model for a core counselor training program, the pioneer accreditation models of counselor training programs have been compared and analyzed using qualitative approach and theory-generating meta-synthesis method. According to this method, by a qualitative systematic review based on grounded theory, a model has been developed for the accreditation of the counselor training program, which is generalizable and  prescribable in different contexts. The sampling method was purposeful and the documents related to six situations at the international level have been subjected to final review. The findings specify 3 factors, 6 criteria, 18 indicators, 6 fundamental features and 6 action steps in a comprehensive counselor training program accreditation model. As a result, an accreditation model has been proposed which determines the indicator areas, practical priorities, the quality assurance and approval procedure of a counselor training program, emphasizing the culture of evidence instead of strict standards. By utilizing this model, may a greater unification emerge amongst various programs in terms of their quality, resulting in a stronger professional identity, a higher level of training for counselors and care for clients, especially when it comes to licensing.

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between gender role conflict and the severity of symptoms of mental disorders and the attitude towards help-seeking in Iranian men. 302 male students of three universities, namely University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran University and Shahid-Beheshti University, completed a questionnaire including demographic characteristics, the gender role conflict scale (O’Neil et al. 1986), Brief Symptoms Inventory (Derogatis et al., 1983), and the short form of the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale (Fischer et al., 1995). The results of simultaneous regression analysis showed that psychological distress had the most positive relationship with the factors of "work-family conflict", "restrictive emotionality" and "success, power, competition", respectively, and the attitude towards help-seeking has the most negative relationship with " restrictive emotionality " and "success, power, competition" factors, respectively. Also, the proposed structural model of the present study about the effects of the masculine gender role conflict on psychological distress from two direct and indirect paths (through the negative effect on help-seeking attitude) had a good fit. Thus, it seems that the masculine gender role conflict increases the severity of psychological distress through a negative effect on the help-seeking attitude.

In career counseling based on hope, a person successfully performs job selection tasks well and can fulfill his commitment, which can increase self-efficacy and job hope.

From the perspective of critical psychology, the concepts of science have a historical-social aspect. Psychology is generally considered to be the result of a process of knowledge accumulation. But critical psychology, as an interdisciplinary science in the humanities, considers psychological concepts to be historical and consistent with certain socio-historical contexts. "Guidance and counseling" has been the focus of many researchers over the past half-century. The purpose of this study was to examine these concepts from the perspective of critical historiography. In this form of historiography, the phenomenon under study is examined from the perspective of "discontinuity". The findings of this study showed that Iranian psychology has shifted from the "discourse of guidance" to the "discourse of counseling" over the past half-century. The first discourse was formed and dominated from the 1940s to the 1970s, and the second from the 1970s to the present. As a result, the "discourse of guidance to specific jobs" was replaced by the "discourse of counseling, skills training, and self-direction". Finally, while summarizing the findings, the relationship between these two discourses and the changes in the political economy of the 1970s was discussed.

The results indicated that the participants did not change their field of study due to various reasons, including internal factors such as lack of interest or external factors such as impracticality. According to the participant, one of the effective factors in changing the subject may be the social status compared to the previous subject in the society. It seems it is neccessery to consult an informed advisor to identify real interests and skills, which avoids wasting capital, time, and human and social energy.

Documents which are set for the fundamental transformation of the education system in Iran discuss only three counseling models, including educational, vocational and agreement types; and they neglect guidance models generally, let alone indigenous ones, in particular. Applying three proposed models do not lead into achieving all the objectives of the documents and there is a serious need to models appropriate for reaching all the documents goals and perspectives. Furthermore, while only guidance makes prevention possible, it needs executive models, proper structure and organization and duty description for all the school personnel. This article is a response to required guidance models for the fundamental transformation of the education system, and is the result of two previous researches done under the title of “guidance content analysis in Quran” and “qualitative theme analysis of triple documents”. Through six innovative models which are introduced here, ten previous common models are criticized and their differences and commonalities are revealed. Three of the ten are among consultant models which should be applied only by the consultant of the school; the rest overlap six innovative models, encompassing "Knowledge, Faith and Good Practice", "Insight", "Access to the Hidden Truth", "Justification", "Judgment" and "Spiritual Guidance", altogether, in spite of some differences. By the six proposed models, students might enjoy school attendance and reach their full potential. Keywords: Model, Guidance, Quran, Basics of the Documents for Transformation in Education System
