BOOK EXCERPT:
The coming of Colonization and Christianity to Africa and other indigenous cross-cultural contexts was a “mixed bag” of pros and cons. The impact of the advent of the two has had a lasting effect being felt even today. It created issues of bi-culturalism and bi-religiousness in personal and religious identities that counselors and the church need to address when working with people from these contexts. There is the existence of deep cultural trauma (including psychological and spiritual scars) needing healing for those living in most of these post-colonial contexts. The Western counseling approaches and Christian rituals need contextualization. A counselor or pastoral caregiver with an integrative consciousness is required to address the psychological and religious identity conflicts existing in African and other indigenous cross-cultural contexts.

BOOK EXCERPT:
School Counselling in an Asian Cultural Context focuses on the ways in which cultural setting influences the practice of school counseling, its effectiveness, and the experience of young people as they engage in counseling in schools. The mental health of young people is increasingly a cause for concern, particularly in Asia’s high-pressured league-topping education systems, and the wellbeing of students is becoming more a part of the wider remit of schools. Mark Harrison presents a broad overview of the development and current practice of school counseling in Hong Kong in both local and international schools and examines this in relation to school counseling in US and UK settings as well as the wider Asia-Pacific region. The book brings together two foci: the practice of school counseling in the Asian cultural context of Hong Kong, and the effectiveness and experience of school counseling from the perspective of young people and counselors. The diversity of schools in Hong Kong makes it a microcosm of trends and practices in school counseling globally and, as such, offers insights which will be of interest to students in training; school counselors, administrators and policy makers in the Asia-Pacific region and further afield.

Welcome to the comprehensive guide to addiction counselling in Ireland and the UK. This book is designed to provide addiction counsellors with in-depth knowledge, practical strategies, and real-world examples to enhance their understanding and effectiveness in working with individuals struggling with addiction. Drawing on the experiences of working addiction counsellors in the region, this book offers valuable insights into the unique challenges and considerations faced in the Irish and UK context. Chapter by chapter, we delve into various aspects of addiction counselling, exploring the definition and classification of addiction, factors influencing addiction, the neurobiology of addiction, and the understanding of addiction as a chronic disease. We also examine the concept of dual diagnosis and the complexities of addressing co-occurring mental health disorders. Through evidence-based approaches, we explore effective counselling techniques and interventions, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. We also discuss the importance of cultural sensitivity in addiction counselling, emphasizing the need for counsellors to be aware of and responsive to the diverse cultural backgrounds and needs of their clients. Additionally, we explore the collaborative care model, highlighting the significance of working in partnership with other healthcare professionals to provide holistic and integrated care. Throughout this book, we emphasize the practical applications of addiction counselling, providing real-life examples and case studies that illustrate how counsellors can apply theoretical concepts and techniques in their everyday practice. We examine the role of assessment and diagnosis in treatment planning, the implementation of evidence-based approaches, the considerations for special populations, and the importance of harm reduction and relapse prevention.
