一九八二年，德國哲學家阿肯巴赫成立咗哲學實踐工作者嘅組織「德國哲學執業學會」（即係「世界哲學執業學會」嘅前身），並且開始以哲學諮商員嘅身份開始工作。直到九十年代《柏拉圖的靈丹》出版 ，呢本書證明咗哲學諮商嘅有效性，引起咗社會人士嘅注意，吸引咗唔少哲學家從事哲學諮商 。
In 1982, the German philosopher Akembach founded the German Society for Philosophy Practitioners, an organization of philosophical practitioners (the predecessor of the World Society for Philosophy Practitioners) and began working as a philosophical consultant. It was not until the publication of "Plato's Elixir" in the nineties that this book proved the effectiveness of philosophical counseling, which attracted the attention of people in society and attracted many philosophers to engage in philosophical counseling.
