A History of Wellness Counseling

Abstract

History is an example for human life, because history teaches values and norms that
can be used as guidelines for human life. That said, history is important because people who
don't know history are doomed to repeat past mistakes. History is considered to provide
learning material. But in reality, people can read a lot of history books but don't take a lesson
from them. Wellness counseling has a historical trajectory. Knowing the history will be very
useful for the developmental of science and practices in wellness counseling. Starting from the
time of the Greek philosophers, Jews and Christians, the period of modern psychologists,
periods of spiritual and religious development, and the times of the development of other
scientific disciplines, all can understand where the position still opens space for research and
development. This is the importance of knowing the developmental history of wellness
counseling.
