Philosophical Counseling and Humanities Therapy are two independent fields of practice that have recently come to surface in Korea, represented by the Korean Association of Philosophical Counseling and the Humanities Institute of Kangwon National University, respectively. Since both newly introduced fields involve philosophical practice, their similarity may lead to an unwanted level of confusion. This paper attempts to provide a framework through which the concepts of both fields can be understood with more clarity. In doing so, the author examines the objective, potential subjects, and methodology of Philosophical Counseling which tends to benefit from a relative advantage in its approach, and arrives at a study of Humanities Therapy based on a comparative analysis of the two separate fields. In particular, among many difficulties that may arise through such a comparison, problems regarding the notion of “therapy” are placed under scrutiny, followed by possible explanations and suggestions provided by the author.
