Towards a dialogical bond in a humanistic oriented counseling

Journal Title: Studia Poradoznawcze - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue

Abstract

The phenomenon of dialogue in a counseling relationship is described from many perspectives. Most often, you can find practical and instructional texts, conceived to improve the specialists’ communication skills or prompt them as to what they ought to do or what they can do in this area, what they must not or should not do, how they can increase the range of impact on the client and how they can become an effective counselor, psychotherapist, mediator. In my article, I want to draw reader’s attention to the deeper meaning of the counseling dialogue. The purpose of this article is, therefore, to redirect the reader’s attention from the technical dimension of communication to building a dialogical bond in a counseling relationship. The second goal is to stimulate the counselors’ sensitivity to dialogue, understood as a meeting of two subjects, and to encourage them to critically look at their attitude and the results of their help practices. The structure of the text reflects statements that show the meaning of a counseling meeting in phenomenological-cum-dialogical terms.
