American Philosophical Practitioners Association

• Client Counselors offer philosophical counseling, one-on-one, for a range of problems or issues involving morals, values, meaning and purpose. Some counselors specialize in particular methods or perspectives, while others are more general in their practices.

• Group Facilitators often moderate philosopher's cafes for large public groups, and conduct Socratic Dialogues--an experience in living philosophy--for small private ones. Some facilitators have developed other unique approaches to working philosophically with groups.

• Organizational Consultants utilize a range of skills and techniques--from Socratic Dialogue to Dilemma Training to Pragmatism--for enhancing ethics and ethos in the workplace. A virtuous workforce is more functional (and profitable) than a vicious one.

• An APPA Certified Affiliate is a practicing professional in a recognized field other than philosophy --e.g. medicine, psychiatry, psychology, law, social work, management -- with APPA-Certified expertise in philosophical theories and methods.
