Abstract
HANNAH ARENDT (1993) DEFINED social responsibility as both an individual's values and a political presence of belonging or suffering and acting or doing which ' ... needs the presence of others before whom they can appear.' (Arendt, 1993: 154).
As an educator in the field of counselling and psychotherapy I am surprised at the lack of debate, recognition or acknowledgement, that the problems of clients, their families and communities, may not have originated solely from themselves. There is very little literature in the field of counselling and psychotherapy identifying a discourse of fairness and justice.
