Subject: RE: BS: psychotherapy/counselling
There is counselling and counselling.
A notable Dictionary of Counselling (defines words and phrases like 'core conditions','judgementalism','potential','facilitate','put-down'etc.) by Colin Feltham and Windy Dryden says about 'counselling',
"this term has a variety of meanings (and some of them are problematic)" and,in part,continues,
"(Counselling's) predominant ethos is one
of facilitation rather than of advice-giving".
So you can see that information about the many counsellings and therapies are readily available,even on the similarities and differences between the 'two'.
