(Title in Polish - 'Zagrajmy (w) przyjaciól ! O dziwnej nowej grze miedzy doradca a radzacym sie w sytuacji poradniczej konstruowanej przeciwko bezradnosci w postmodernistycznym spoleczenstwie'). The paper describes one of the categories of social relations that may occur in counseling situations. It is an exchange/purchase-based relation. Despite the apparent similarity to friendship, this relationship is only a substitute because it violates the three main attributes of friendship, namely the voluntary character, permanence, and reciprocity. The paper also describes the probable reasons why the counselor and the counselee engage in this 'friendship' game. These include: lower costs than those of true friendship, minimal risk of being hurt, and, finally, the possibility to combine the personal dimension with the non-personal (specialist) one. The authoress also argues that this relationship could be an example of how the society imparts an entirely new quality to an old type of social relation.
