Abstract
In order a counsellor candidate to grow as an ideal counsellor, one need to develop altruism. As the first step of developing altruism, one is required to know oneself, so that one's behaviour is not controlled by egocentric unconscious forces and, specifically for a counsellor candidate, to be able to make conscious decisions regarding of their prospective counselees well-being. In a counselling group consisting of nine counsellor candidates, one female counsellor candidate with a strong motivation to be an altruistic counsellor was chosen as a subject in this research to develop altruism by discovering subject’s unconscious forces. The subject was then asked to narrate her life history and to form a constellation to map her relationship patterns which are then followed by a group discussion/open interview. As a result, even though the subject has the motivation to strive as an altruistic counsellor, when she does not have a deep comprehension of herself, it is found that subject’s egocentric unconscious forces are able to dictate her behaviour and obstruct altruism development.
