ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the preceding one, suggests that recognizing and questioning the subjectivity of Conventional morality or social constructs as occurring during the 1960s and 70s, and consequently questioning one’s own identity and morality, could potentially have been a natural catalyst for facilitating moral development, specifically, to a Post-conventional orientation. In this latter context, it is noteworthy that it is important for the counselor who understands moral development as a process, to remember to explain, and to emphasize early on to their clients that all human beings go through, although some further than others, an invariant sequence of stages of both cognitive and cognitive-moral development. The problem presented by this couple was the contrast in relation to their expectation of the social role of a spouse. One incident stands out and typifies what became the fulcrum used with the Conceptual Template as a guide in fulfilling this goal. The incident occurred at an event where there was dancing.
