Philosophical Counseling can be played an important role in dealing with human mental problems which haven’t be solved by psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. This treatise aims to analyze Socratic conversation as methodology of philosophical counseling and to find out it’s fundamental elements. First of all we have to examine two basic conditions for philosophical counseling. The one is ‘telling frankly or freely’. Philosophical counseling is different from medical therapy. Philosophical counselor can’t diagnose and prescribe uni-laterally. Plato’s parrhesia is the clue of mutual communication or mutual understanding between counselor and client. The other is ‘hearing compassionately’. Philosophical counselor has to have compassionate attitude toward client’s emotion or narratives, but to preserve at a certain distance from client. If not so, he or she can’t play a role as helper. Next we can find out some methods of philosophical counseling, and they are applicable to each case. First, it is the universal definition as method to reflect common sense and general belief. It can be cured mental pain and grief caused by social prejudices and virtues that has received or agreed unconsciously. Second, it is Socratic elenchos as method that makes his ignorance recognize by himself and helps him think critically. But philosophical counselor has to deal with it very carefully when he uses elenchos. Third, it is Socratic midwife-method that philosophical counselor help client find and analyze his problem and consider how does client to solve it for himself. So he have to take precautions against intervening client’s considering positively, and influencing to client’ decision too much.
