| | Philosophical counseling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Philosophers have an extraordinarily rich repertoire of theoretical perspectives at their disposal and therefore are especially adept at seeing the implications and assumptions behind the theories guiding all of the various approaches to psychological therapy. | | | Many philosophical counselors are hesitant to call philosophical counseling "therapy". | | | The key to philosophical counseling generally is its client-centered and open-ended nature, one which does not manipulate the client's thinking so as to bring him to accept some particular philosophy as the "Truth." The philosophical counselor's intention is to help his client reach any reasonable and morally permissible goal the client has set for herself. |

| | philosophical counseling |
| | For while the philosophical training of the counselor provides the impetus for stimulating a client's thought-processes, the point of philosophical counseling should not be to provide the client with new life-directing conceptions. | | | Philosophical counselors can facilitate effective philosophical thinking in a client by entering into philosophical dialogue with the client's life-world for the purpose of revealing the concrete influence of abstract, life-directing conceptions in the client's everyday life. | | | Philosophical counseling can provide assistance to people who seek conceptual clarification in their life, but this assistance will promote an authentic awakening in the client only when the dialogue disguises the practitioner's role as the dominant partner in the counseling session. |

| | The philosophical counselor has declared that he or she will adhere to the code of practice, and this can provide a reason, or additional reason, to consult this particular philosopher, and can be a reason for other specialists to refer a client to a philosopher. | | | The counselor is at all times prepared to justify to the client the way in which the counseling is conducted by the counselor. | | | The counselor will enter a counseling relationship only if the client has explicitly expressed a wish to do so, and if the counselor is satisfied that the client is reasonably well informed about the content and form of such a relationship. |

| | Philosophical Counseling |
| | A trained philosopher is skilled in using this technique to identify areas in the client's thinking that may be illogical, inconsistent or unclear. | | | Whereas with insurance-reimbursed psychotherapy there is an incentive for the patient to prolong therapy, with philosophical counseling the client has an incentive to seek fewer, more focused and efficacious sessions. | | | In philosophical counseling there is a more focussed focus to the questions: they aim for an intellectual understanding by the client--but without dictating the nature of the understanding. |

| | Many philosophical counselors draw the line between a psychological analysis of clients' lives (e.g., examining the precipitating events, antecedents, cue-responsiveness, causes, and mental conflicts that affect adjustment and behavior) and a conceptual analysis of clients' worldviews, belief systems, propositional attitudes, and rational justifications underlying the philosophical assumptions about their sense of self and the world. | | | Indeed, philosophical counseling strives to uncover and analyze the various meanings and interpretations that clients assign to their lives, fleshing out implicit presuppositions, contradictions, inconsistencies, and cryptic patterns and processes that are associated with their worldviews. | | | Philosophers are drawn to certain philosophies over others, not only because of intense study and philosophical rumination over the rational superiority of each approach, but because certain philosophies coalesce with their personal ways of being. |

| | The Philosophical Counselling movement is not something new; in fact, philosophers more than 2,000 years ago were practising philosophy as a way of life and using it to relieve human suffering. | | | Many methods of psychological counseling, such as Cognitive Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, deal extensively with philosophic ideas in their practice. | | | Philosophical Counseling is a paradoxical new field that purports to help people with life's problems by engaging them in philosophical discussions. |

| | Philosophical Counseling: Theory and Practice |
| | Philosophical counseling is a rapidly growing new field of practice that has its roots in antiquity. | | | But early practitioners were reluctant to ascribe any sort of method to philosophical counseling for fear of unintentionally restricting its practice. | | | While this book may serve as an excellent text for courses in psychology, counseling, and philosophy, or as a reference for practitioners, its clear structure and readable style makes it an accessible book for anyone with an interest in knowing more about philosophical counseling. |

| | That being said, philosophical counselors overwhelmingly understand themselves to be operating according to a methodology that is thoroughly subject to rational evaluation, even at those points where non-rational methods are (intentionally) included in the thought process. | | | Our thesis is that maintaining a philosophical disposition, along with ability to use some critical and constructive techniques typical of philosophical counseling practice, can provide an additional measure of conceptual power with which to address problems and possibilities of negotiation. | | | Philosophical counseling makes use of both critical and constructive techniques. |

| | Philosophical counseling or consulting is NOT psychological counseling or psychological therapy; it is philosophical mentoring or teaching. | | | There are many areas in life where philosophical understanding, and a perspective based on philosophical knowledge, is extremely important and helpful. | | | Often such knowledge is not difficult to attain, and requires only being exposed to some reasonable ideas you just had not heard or thought of before or which had not previously been made meaningful. |

| | Individual philosophical counseling is a form of dialogue between two people, the philosopher and the client, in which the philosopher acts as advocate and guide in support of a client-chosen goal. | | | APPA-certified philosophical counselors are trained to define the scope of their practice and to be able to recognize clients whose problems fall outside that scope, for whatever reason. | | | One important difference is that philosophical counseling does not assume that everyone with a difficulty or problem potentially has a psychological or psychiatric problem. |

| | This is an interesting article on philosophical counseling, and the rivalry between Lou Marinoff's American Philosophical Practitioners Association and the American Society for Philosophy Counseling and Psychotherapy. | | | There are many trends and fashions to both philosophical and psychological thought, and these fashions amount to ideologies that mediate the relationships between the counselor and the counselee. | | | Being a lapsed Psychology major because of my department's emphasis on "scientific" research and a theory of behavior[ism], I know how misguided by their confidence in their own abilities these well-meaning people can be. |
