Shlomit C. Schuster (Hebrew: שוסטר שלומית ; born 19 July 1951 in Paramaribo, Suriname; died 15 February 2016 in Jerusalem, Israel) was an Israeli philosophical counselor,[2] considered a pioneer in the field.[3][4]
Schuster migrated to Israel in 1976 and studied philosophy at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She trained under the Dutch philosophical counselor Ad Hoogendijk, a colleague of Gerd B. Achenbach. In 1989, she opened the philosophical counseling Center Sophon Jerusalem. In 1990, she launched the philosophical first-aid line "Philosophone", for persons with existential problems and ethical challenges. In 2000, she received her Ph.D. degree. Her thesis, conducted by Marcel-Jacques Dubois and Maurice S. Friedman, described the life of central philosophers in order to find ways to help people through their autobiography[clarification needed].[5]
She was an editorial board member of the Journal of Radical Psychology,[6] the International Journal for Philosophical Practice,[7] and the Journal of Humanities Therapy.[8]
Schuster died in Jerusalem on 15 February 2016, after a serious illness.[9]
