The authors propose Hegel's ([Hegel, G. W., 1807/1977]) dialectic of desire and recognition as an integrative model for humanistic counselors. Following a review of relevant literature, the authors address desire, recognition, the master–slave relationship, and alienation in a contemporary context. Implications for the counseling relationship, case conceptualization, practice, and research are considered.
