Counseling

Counseling is defined as direct work with people to address the social and psychological problems of the client, where the primary means of influence is built in a certain way conversation. the term "counseling" is used to describe a set of practices as diverse as those who are to guide, assist, advise, support and treatment. "Counseling is a form of" situations psychology ": the situation is the cause of the symptom and not the reverse. In this sense, counseling, a form of psychological and social support, means a situation in which two people enter into a relationship, one that explicitly call for the other by expressing a demand for treatment, resolve, assume or problems that affect them.

In any introduction to - and any training in - the person-centered approach it is therefore necessary to consider and develop this way of being through practicing the principles of the approach (rather than, say, to learn a set of skills which are artificially separated from the principles on which they are based). A way of being? is a psychological posture from which one lives and is in the world and is a phrase which encapsulates the person-centered approach. There are a number of elements to this way of being, entailing:

2. Will to help.

3. Intention to be effective in helping people meets their needs.

4. Compassion for the individual and respect for his autonomy and dignity.
