This study aimed at investigating the appropriateness of some counselling
strategies against terrorism in Akwa Ibom State. A sample of 120 Guidance
Counsellors was drawn from Akwa Ibom State Chapter of the Counselling
Association of Nigeria. The design of the study was ex-post-facto. Two hypotheses
were raised as guide to the study. A structured questionnaire entitled Counselling
Terrorism (COT) was designed and used for data collection. The instrument
was subjected to various processes of validation. The internal consistency of the
instrument was established through pilot testing and it yielded a Cronbach Alpha
coefficient of 0.82. Data raised were analyzed using simple percentage and
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result showed that parent training in child
management is the promising family intervention strategy. It was recommended
that there should be training in behaviour modification strategies which include
the use of rewards, punishment and communication skills.
