Editing Socratic method (section)

==Psychotherapy==
The Socratic method, in the form of [[Socratic questioning]], has been adapted for psychotherapy, most prominently in [[classical Adlerian psychotherapy]], [[logotherapy]],<ref>Lukas, Elisabeth, Logotherapy Textbook, 2000, p. 86</ref> [[rational emotive behavior therapy]], [[cognitive therapy]]<ref>Overholser, James C. Elements of the Socratic method: II. Inductive reasoning. ''Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training'', ''30''(1), p. 75.</ref> and [[reality therapy]]. It can be used to clarify meaning, feeling, and consequences, as well as to gradually unfold insight, or explore alternative actions.

The Socratic method has also recently inspired a new form of applied philosophy: [[Socratic dialogue]], also called [[philosophical counseling]]. In Europe [[Gerd B. Achenbach]] is probably the best known practitioner, and [[Michel Weber]] has also proposed another variant of the practice.
