Although philosophy has become a purely academic discipline over
the last few centuries, it once played an important role in the
politics of many Western nations. Now, the end of the 20th century,
philosophy seems to be returning to its original, practical
purposes, thanks to the new practice of philosophical counseling,
which is now emerging as an alternative to psychoanalysis and other
clinical approaches. This volume describes the main theoretical
aspects of this practice based on an open-ended dialogue between a
philosophical practitioner and a client or a group, and places it
in a historical context, while contrasting it with various forms of
psychological counseling. To illustrate how philosophy can be
beneficial, the author, a practicing philosophical counselor, also
presents several case studies from her own practice.
