Reflection on the spiritual dimension of the dialog in the dialogical approach by T.A. Florensky comparison with the client-centered therapy by C. Rodgers
The clarification of the question of what stands behind the consultant’s ego involvement in the work with a client in the dialogical approach developed by T.A. Florensky and in the client-centered therapy by C. Rogers in the context of the science and religion interfacing is considered in the article. The principles of work needed to a consultant, in particular the principle of outsideness, from the position (through the “prism”) of the Holy Theophan the Recluse and the principles of work of C. Rogers from the position of Zen Buddhism and the teaching of Lao-Tse are analyzed.
