✦ Synopsis
Counseling, as have other mental health professions, has undergone regular historical alternations between meaning‐based and reductive ideologies of helping. Contemporarily, counseling is participating in a protracted reductionistic phase. This situation has resulted in the marginalization of those in the profession who have humanistic sensibilities. Reasons these displaced humanists should be supported and educational methods to bring about this support are summarized.
