Logos.com "Counseling" Resource Type vs. Topic

In the Logos.com store filters (in the sidebar), what is the difference between the:

Counseling Topic (1590 resources), which may be further refined by subtopics in the sidebar
Counseling Resource Type (with 288 resources)?

Their intersection has only 244 resources, so the Resource Type is not a subset of the Topic.

I haven't found the Resource Type in the desktop app's Library filters, nor in the Manual, Wiki, and Forum; so I'm presuming it is specific to the store. In the manual's Factbook section, I found the following, which (contrary to the statistics above) could mislead one into think that the Resource Type and Topic are the same:

Counseling Resources — Features three options: Books, Courses, and Websites.
• Books lists books in your library that contain the counseling topic as a Headword and websites.

Resource type usually refers to the Type attribute in the Library panel. I think I misunderstand what you mean when you say you don't find it in the library filters etc. If you are saying you don't find "Counseling" as a type, then I don't find it either. They have been doing some work on resource types - I suspect it is a matter of updating still to come. Nonetheless, the partially done change is confusing.

Ah, to clarify, I'm asking about the the Logos.com store's Counseling Resource Type vs. the Logos.com store Counseling Topic, but I did try to cross reference the concepts in the app in attempt to answer my own question before posting.

I'd been wondering if the store's Counseling Resource Type might indicate that it was Counseling-tagged. It seems that only one supported resource remains from the originally posted list.
