The heart has its reason and the reason has its heart: The insight of Kohlberg and Gilligan in moral development and counseling

In this paper the work of Lawrence Kohlberg and Carol Gilligan are reflected on as a missing chapter in the counseling curricula, and the explanatory power of each theory is discussed. How Kohlberg’s theory mirrors the “separate” truth of theories of development is illustrated, along with the alternative truths suggested by Gilligan.
