Abstract

An objectivistic philosophical conviction has prompted the author to abandon the “uh‐huh” response of existentialist counseling, and to do many things popularly considered forbidden to counselors. The search for possible solutions, given as alternatives without advising or choosing, is a source of great satisfaction and pleasure to this counselor. He is minding his own business—which is not to serve the needs of students, but to enjoy himself!
