Abstract

There appears to be an urgent demand among counselors for a clarification of the relationship between the counselor's basic philosophy and his counseling procedures. Some authorities in the field say that the counselor's philosophy affects the techniques he uses and influences the effectiveness of his work. Arbuckle says that the attitude and philosophy of the counselor are all-important in effecting the good mental health of his counselees. As the counselor is working and relating and experiencing with another person, he is giving a fairly clear picture of his own philosophical concept of man, his nature, and his function on earth. It would seem logical, then, that the first question that should be examined is the question of why we do what we do, rather than how we do it. The why is the philosophical rationale for whatever one does as a counselor.
