The heart has its reason and the reason has its heart: The insight of Kohlberg and Gilligan in moral development and counseling

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper reflects on the work of Lawrence Kohlberg and Carol Gilligan as a missing chapter in the counseling curricula, and discusses the explanatory power of each theory. The paper illustrates how Kohlberg's theory mirrors the "separate" truth of theories of development, and the alternative truths suggested by Gilligan.
