Lecture: How does a client experience philosophical consultation? by Jorge Humberto Dias & Tiago Pita | Lisbon, Portugal

Lecture’s description | Created in 2008, the PROJECT@ Office – a corporate brand for the business of philosophy consultations – started to offer philosophical consultations in Portugal. Later on, in order to better understand the client’s experience from those consultations, a questionnaire was prepared, which the customers/clients answered at the end of the consultations.

We will take this opportunity to share with all the results and promote/motivate an open space for debate with colleagues from other countries that are involved in philosophical practice.

We are aware that the research and evaluation on philosophical consultations is an innovative activity, but also fundamental for the evolution of philosophical counselling as a discipline.
