Melita Jerolimov ; Selecta consultation, Zadar

Abstract

From a psychologist’ point of view the paper presents an overview into comparison between psychological and philosophical counseling, their prospective historical and theoretical backgrounds and applications. The main hypothesis underlines diversity in approach: the counseling are complementary and overlapping methods aimed at providing help (Achenbach) or these are diverse methods whose prospective clients are different as well (Marinoff). The ethics, its significance and applicability in counseling are part of the second half of the paper. Nevertheless, an integrative and eclectic approach prevails in counseling for last forty years where the philosophic counseling has its certain place too.
