Abstract
This article presents a reflexive analysis about counseling as a helping profession, a service, a discipline, a science, and an art. Approaching professional counseling from these areas helps in giving a historical account of its development and to put into perspective its evolution to the present. It offers specific details, arguments and events to validate these points of view; discusses some ideas about its psychoanalytic, humanistic and cognitive behavioral paradigms, as well as theoretical or leading exponents of contemporary theories and new emergent models. The author reviews various counseling definitions, up to the most recent one based on the American Counseling Association Task Force‘s "20/20: Vision for the Future of Counseling" and its principles.
