Zoran Kojčić ; Croatian Society for Philosophical Practice, Dalj, Croatia

Abstract

During last two decades, means of communication went through significant changes. Next to the usual face-to-face communication, new forms of communication (e.g. free online video conversation services or social networks) are now integrated in everyday life. In this paper I shall focus on possibilities offered by such new forms to practice of philosophical counselling. I shall present three cases of counselling with clients: face-to-face counselling, online video counselling via Skype platform, and chat on Facebook. In the last part of the paper and based on these case-studies, I shall examine advantages and disadvantages of each method, show which one is the most convenient for philosophical counsellors and which one for clients, with a goal of further development of the profession and its image in public.
