two lectures today from great Italians

Today Dott. Eugenio Bucchini and Amy Kleine were our speakers today. Hearing from the actual Italian counselors here in Italy is very eye opening of the true differences and similarities between their counseling profession and ours in the States.
First Doctore Eugenio Bucchini spoke. He explained his belief that the difference between psychotherapy and psychology is the relationship of mutual respect– truly talking to the people. Of course the biggest and most important part in the counseling approach is truly knowing and understand your client, not just studying them.
Next we heard from Amy Kleine, a former American who has since become an Italian and thus is an Italian counselor. She is the assistant director of health and wellness at Syracuse University in Florence. She works directly with students in Florence looking after their safety and well being. She also teaches cross-cultural counseling at a Counseling school in Italy.
It has become very eye opening to hear from the people here and about the history and current approach to the counseling profession here in Italy.


A beautiful ending to a great day
