Due to the different theoretical bases and historical origins, there are essential differences in the handling of values between psychological counseling and ideological and political education. Psychological counseling adheres to value neutrality and emphasizes the dignity and value of the individual, while ideological and political education emphasizes value intervention and aims to cultivate ideological and moral character that meets the needs of society and class. In order to achieve good results in ideological and political education and psychological counseling in colleges and universities, relevant workers should fully tap common resources, explore the path of education, and improve the effectiveness of counseling and education.
