Abstract
Developmental Counseling and Therapy (DCT) is a new integrative approach to understand individuals and how to address their counseling needs. Clients construct their worldviews and actions based on their previously built thoughts, behaviors, and feelings by person-environment interactions (Ivey & Goncalvez, 1988). Drawing more attention in the last couple of years (Aricioǧlu, 2008; Karairmak & Korkut, 2009), DCT also is relatively new in Turkish counseling practices and research. The developing and promising Turkish counseling profession needs introduction and adaptation of new counseling theories and practices. Therefore, this paper aims at discussing application of DCT and its components to Turkish counseling practices.
