Abstract
The author develops here a conceptual framework of a study of encouraging people for better interpersonal relationship. The study aims to find a new concept and framework in Japanese traditional thought. After the Japanese version of “Handbook of Coaching Psychology” was published in 2011, the author has wandered about to find a new conceptual framework instead of coaching or coaching psychology. The author stayed for a while in “Human Supportology” to propose a new relationship between coach and client. The concept, however, could not go beyond the old framework of coaching. The author has tried to establish a new, wider and inclusive framework to reach a study of encouraging people for better interpersonal relationship.
