Faculty Associates for Spring 2007
Dr. John Blando
Associate Professor, Counseling Department
Project Scope
The Philosophy of Counseling
John’s project with CTFD involves research on the philosophical foundations of counseling, and addresses issues of multiculturalism and social justice. Specifically, he is exploring how teaching and learning modules can be developed from different philosophical traditions; Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and Buddhist philosophy are his two comparative thought structures. He is incorporating his findings into an upcoming textbook and solidifying them with a workshop, and hopes that students use his research to look into many different philosophical traditions—and in so doing find relevance to their work as counselors and psychotherapists.
