- Title
Philosophical Counselors as Soul Doctors.
- Authors
REPETTI, RICK
- Abstract
Philosophical counseling has roots in both ancient Greek and ancient Asian philosophies, but today it is a relatively newly emerging phenomenon in the West, so many have either never even heard of it, or, if they have, they are unclear about how it resembles and differs from other forms of talking therapies and related self-help modalities. Here, I focus on some of the major similarities and differences between philosophical counselors, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, life coaches, and gurus. I identify and assess some of the disparities in credentialing for each, the sorts of issues that direct individuals to contact them and for which each has greater expertise, and the many overlapping issues which any or all of them may be competent to address. I argue that most of these issues may be best addressed by philosophical counselors.
