Legal framework of inter- and transdisciplinarity in counseling

The evolution of guidance allows defining it as a discipline, as an area of knowledge framed in the social sciences, aimed at the development of the human being’s potential through psychosocial consultation and counseling on an individual and/or group basis at any stage of the life cycle. As a discipline, counseling is nourished by diverse areas of knowledge, among others: education, sociology and psychology; from the latter it takes the psychological and theoretical approaches that describe and explain personality; it accepts the paradigms of these approaches, the structure and dynamics of the theories, assuming itself from the perspective of education and sociology. As a profession, guidance implicitly consists of a set of functions and tasks aimed at satisfying the emerging requirements of the contexts where the guidance counselor works ethically, adjusted or adjusted to the values associated with improving the living conditions of those involved and enhance their comprehensive development and in accordance with the legal provisions that frame their professional practice.
