Counselors encounter fundamental philosophical problems when attempting to understand another person, including the notion of agency and the nature of reality outside the mind. This author discusses the Kantian conception of truth, agency, and the relationship of the mind's external reality to psychotherapy, and its implications for humanism and theories of knowing.
