청소년지도방법론을 새롭게 저술하면서 몇 가지 사안을 고려하였다. 먼저 시대적인 흐름에서 청소년들을 둘러싼 사회적 환경과 변화를 파악하고 청소년지도 현장의 요구를 반영하기 위한 노력이 매우 중요하다는 점이다. 이를 토대로 현재 가장 이슈가 되는 현안 문제들을 중심으로 지도방법 개발에 초점을 맞추려는 시도가 필요하다고 판단하였다.
다른 한편으로, 청소년지도 현장에서 프로그램 개발자와 지도자들이 문화적, 사회적, 그리고 구조적인 여건을 반영하기 위한 노력도 필요하다. 이러한 측면에서 기존의 청소년지도방법론 교재들은 청소년지도의 원리와 기초개념 및 적용방안에 초점을 두고 있는 것으로 보인다. 반면 이번 청소년지도방법론은 기존의 논리와 개념 틀을 유지하면서 동시에 새롭게 부각되고 있는 현장의 요구들과 프로그램 개발 아이템들을 최대한 반영하고자 하였다.
