In suggesting the possible formation of Neo-Christian Humanist living in affluent countries, we have made frequent mention of the effectiveness of using psychological counseling.
Psychological counseling is a relatively new development.
It is only very recently that the behavioral sciences have got past early failures and misconceptions and have become pragmatic and properly respectful of empirical facts about the human psyche and its sensitivities. At the present time, they represent a powerful tool in establishing good, normalized relations between individuals who otherwise, in a changing and confusing world, have little or no guidance in the conduct of relationships. We are saying that counseling is useful for anyone and everyone. They do not accept the fact that we are all interdependent. In so doing they lose their chance at having the happiness of properly loving relationships with their family members and their peers.
