The dialogical counseling according to Reinhard and Martina Fuhr assumes the person as a whole and allows for a critical examination of the categorization of clients in social work as problem cases. In the paper "Dialogical Counseling According to Fuhr as a Possibility for the Deconstruction of Gender" by Dejan Kibbert, parallels are drawn to dialogical communication in counseling contexts and the ethical deconstruction of Jacques Derrida, reflecting on gender issues. The encounter in dialogue can lead to individuals feeling recognized in their being and can expose and shed the socially normative patterns of gender and role expectations. The person as a whole is also crucial in clarifying whether social workers are allowed to be themselves within their professional practice.
