This book is destined to be a classic cited for generations to come, as it establishes the evolution of the counseling perspective to this point in time, identifies challenges and barriers to its advancement, and proposes needs to be addressed as counselors move into the future.

Counseling Around the World merits integration into core counseling programs and courses that deal with all aspects of diversity and professional practice. East meets West in very basic, practical ways when theories of counseling are challenged as to their applicability in more collectivist cultures or when spirituality and counseling are thought of as one in the same for helping. Continuing education programs for professional counselors will also find this book to be an important resource for planning continuing education. In the coming years, counselors in settings from schools to private practice will find more children, family members, and persons of other countries of origin coming to them for assistance. The editors of this book are to be commended for providing a resource that is global in scope, in depth in content, and at once both realistic and aspirational in terms of defining both the challenges and potential for the globalization of the counseling profession. This is essential reading for all counselors!
