Counselling is a discipline in its own right; it is a sub-discipline of various psychological, educational, social, labour, and organisational science or other disciplines. It is a cross-disciplinary, scientifically based concept of thought and action that different disciplines draw on and use according to their specific objectives and needs. From this starting point, I would like to use this book to help you understand that counselling is coming out of the shadow of a formerly predominantly therapeutic basic understanding. And not least due to international developments – is developing its own, scientifically based profile. Through specific counselling courses of study at universities and colleges and continuing education institutions. In no way should the previous diversity of counselling concepts and counselling formats be abandoned favouring a uniform counselling system. For it is precisely this diversity that represents a great resource in the fields of application and for the target groups of counselling.
