The Philosophy of Helping: (Consultation Model and Altruistic Behavior as An Important Part of The Counselor for Early Childhood)

摘要

Helping Profession is the main concept underlying the role and function of counselor. Helping is a process of activities that people do against other individuals in their social environment. There are three models to help: professional information model, clinical model, and model of consultation process. The consultation process model is the first model to be applied in a helpful philosophy. This model is important to be a helper as a steering process. However, professional and clinical information models may be provided, but the helper should use confrontive intervention. This intervention is intended to provide some hypotheses or alternatives for solving client problems. In the counseling process, primarily involving early childhood, the philosophy of helping is seen in altruistic behaviors related to the empathetic and caring attitude of the counselor to the client.
