The global nature of today’s society has created more international students than ever, and these students face an increasing variety of demands while living and learning across cultures. Counsellors are one of the key resources available to such students, yet they themselves have often not had significant training in this area. This text provides information for professionals working with students during cross-cultural transition. The book introduces readers to contributions made by international students in higher education, and supplies in-depth information about the nature of cross-cultural transitions including initial entry to the host culture as well as the return home. A framework of multicultural counselling competencies is applied with suggestions for counselors to increase their self-awareness, knowledge, skills, and abilities for organizational development. Case examples throughout highlight the range of roles and strategies that can be used in counselling international students, and the book is filled with practical information for enhancing counselling services for this population. The audience for this book is counsellors and other mental health professionals who deal with cross-cultural issues as well as students in this area.
