Philosophical counseling is one of the ways to apply philosophy in practice and nowadays, it is the answer to some spiritual and psychological problems that cannot be solved by psychology. This type of counseling consists on variety approaches. Introducing the Lahav approach, due to its element of philosophical transcendence has a privileged position among the approaches, and its theoretical and practical uses require an explanation of its principles, goals, and methods. while his current viewpoint is scattered unsystematically in his works. To the extent that Mills accuses him of confusing theory and method. Such dispersion makes the present work necessary. Hence, the research question is how to explain and analyze Lahav's view on the method and goals of philosophical counseling in a descriptive-analytical method and based on basic principles, using Lahav's intellectual foundations. The findings of this study indicate that self-transformation and self-realization as goals of philosophical counseling were analyzed with the basic principles of depsychologization and spiritual pluralism. The author conceptualized Lahav's method with dialectics and addressed it in two methodological axes of crossing the pattern and examining dialectical contradiction in different stages of transformation. These two axes were analyzed with the basic principles of the concept of transformation and depsychologization in the interpretation of worldview. This is the first work to be written with the aim of dispelling Lahav's accusation of confusing theory with method and providing a basis for fair criticism of it.
