One Western size fits all
counsellor training in different countries and cultures
William West
pp. 70-77
In 2006/7 I did some preliminary interviews with counsellor trainers in various countries (Russia, India, Kenya and England) intending to develop a research project exploring how Western counsellor training is delivered in differing countries and cultures. It soon became apparent that this was too ambitious, too big a task for one person or even a small team to undertake. However I did make several conference presentations at the time (West, 2007, 2008a, 2008b; West et al., 2007) drawing on these interviews. I will in this chapter re-visit this work to explore particular topics of relevance to this book around the cultural context of counselling.
