Abstract

Investigative counseling is an interviewing process that helps a person to investigate life experiences. Counseling is a serious, sometimes very difficult work for both counselor and patient. It is worth doing, for what is at stake is the further growth and development of a person. The work occurs in a climate provided at first only by the counselor; it consists of respecting and valuing patients simply because they are human persons—and for no other reason. The patient does not have to obey or please the counselor in order to merit respect.
