Un survol de l’histoire de la psychologie du counseling au Japon amène à confronter cinq significations différentes du terme «counseling». Ces divers points de vue relatifs au counseling et à sa signification ont handicapé le développement de la psychologie du counseling. Une approche spécifiquement nippone du counseling est indispensable au développement de la professionnalisation de la discipline au Japon. On conclut l’article par une proposition de théorisation et d’approfondissement de la discipline en tant que psychologie développementale du counseling couvrant l’ensemble de la vie. A precis of counseling psychology's history in Japan leads to discussion of five different meanings for the term “counseling”. These multiple views about counseling and its meaning have hindered development of counseling psychology. An indigenous conceptualisation of counseling is required to promote the professionalisation of the discipline in Japan. A proposal for conceptualising and advancing the discipline as “lifespan developmental counseling psychology” concludes the article.
