Abstract
Publications in philosophical practice sometimes refer to the role philosophers had as doctors of the soul and subsequently maintain that practical philosophers should rekindle this role. One hundred fifty years after the birth of scientific psychology, this claim should be reassessed, and if found wanting, philosophy’s possible role along the psychological doctors of the soul should be clarified. Thus, this article enquires into philosophy’s contemporary usefulness for individuals by differentiating amongst the four or five main ways in which it can be practically helpful today.
