| Summary: |
An introduction to cross-cultural issues in counseling, pointing out the necessity of world-view differences in different cultures, and giving an example of a therapy from Japan. Ends with suggestions for the western counselor, and has reactions from Hincle and Augsburger. Same as in International Bulletin of Missionary Research, 1986, 10, 109-116. |
| Gems: |
Culture is a great storehouse of ready-made solutions to problems which human animals are wont to encounter.
Theological and other disputations in Western churches have obscured the fact that their fundamental task is the "curing of souls."
The notion that formal education rather than broad experience qualifies one to be a counselor seems to be a largely Western notion. |
