Abstract	With the individualisation and multiculturalisation of the world of education and training and the world of work, a new need has arisen to develop a more value-based and existentially oriented approach to guidance theory and vocational training courses. The pluralisation of ways of life and the late-modern confrontation with the authorities have created changed conditions for understanding the relationship between theory and practice, guidance and training, guidance and profession. To a greater degree than previously, guidance has become a question of creating greater integrity between a person's professional specialisation and the life values of the person concerned. Key terms in this connection may be "authenticity" and "formation" (Bildung), concepts and an approach that necessitate a philosophical framework of understanding and guidance practice. This article describes the background to a research cooperation initiated with the aim of studying these changed conditions for guidance and whether and how the theory and practice of philosophical counselling could be a possible way of qualifying the ability of the counsellor to handle the more value-related and existential dimension of the counselling situation and vocational training.
