philosophical counseling and therapeutic culture 
The rejection of philosophical counseling ascribed all'alveo therapies should not be regarded only as a rhetorical formula. In his founding act the same Philosophische Praxis itself as a movement to break with the dominant therapeutic model in today's society which, in fact, the various therapies are an increasingly implicit celebration. But such a complaint has much to thinkers such as Michael Foucault, Thomas Szasz and the whole work of the anti-psychiatry in general. Nella mia tesi, sopratutto per questioni di spazio, non ho trattato in modo specifico questi autori e studiosi, ad eccezione di alcuni accenni in un paragrafo.
Eppure la loro influenza sul mio lavoro è stata decisiva. I loro libri sono pozzi d'ispirazione e di riflessione continua.
Michel Foucault in particolar modo ha scandagliato in maniera profonda e nello stesso tempo dettagliata la controversia questione del potere delle istituzioni terapeutiche, rappresentanti di un sapere che nasconde e controlla i cosiddetti "anormali"(ricordiamoci che la nozione è molto labile come del resto è labile il concetto di normalità nel corso della storia umana).
Dunque, a mio avviso, alcune letture fondamentali tratte dall' opera foucaultiana sono le seguenti:
Storia della follia nell’età classica (I ed.1961, II ed.1972)
Nascita della clinica (1963)
Sorvegliare e punire (1975)
L'ermeneutica del soggetto (lezioni tenute al Collège de France nell'a.a 1981-82)

I think it is very important for people who are new to philosophical counseling critically reflect on the 'therapeutic use' of knowledge, it is also philosophical knowledge.
Indeed, all the more reason for us philosophers (yes philosophers! Achenbach because as he wrote, to overcome the shame of the philosopher is said to be a nice goal today) it is necessary to distance themselves from the idea that our knowledge is more rational or more neutral than others.
The speech then could be extended beyond measure ... What is the philosophical knowledge?
In my opinion, is not so much the content itself to make a philosophical knowledge (and so a speech concerning the ontology of Aristotle, rather than the Hegelian dialectic may not even be philosophical in this sense).
Everything is in the verb. philosophical learning is more than already be , and takes the form of an 'integration that makes the subject content.
is why I consider the creative as the philosopher par excellence.
But it also means destroying create ...
The year was 1994 when he was held in Vancouver, Canada the first international conference on philosophical counseling organized by Ran Lahav and Lou Marinoff.
