Counseling in Brazil: Past, Present, and Future
Hutz-Midgett, Aida; Hutz, Claudio Simon
Journal of Counseling & Development, v90 n2 p238-242 Apr 2012
This article describes counseling in Brazil, which is rooted in career and vocational guidance. Although considered a distinct discipline, counseling falls under the umbrella of psychology. The multicultural movement is gaining momentum in Brazil, and counselors are pioneers working with socioracial minority college students. This is an emerging dimension to the professional identity. Some Brazilian universities are interested in international partnerships that could lead to the establishment of counseling as an independent profession.
