International Counseling Students in Turkey and Their Training Experiences
Ilhan, Tahsin; Korkut-Owen, Fidan; Furr, Susan; Parikh, Sejal
International Journal for the Advancement of Counselling, v34 n1 p55-71 Mar 2012
This study examines the perceptions and experiences of international counseling students (ICSs) in university training programs in Turkey. A majority of participants reported they had adjusted positively, but did experience problems related to language, food, and customs. Participants largely also thought that the training in Turkey met their expectations, although some stated they desired more counseling coursework and applied experiences. More than half of the ICSs surveyed thought that they would not return to their home countries because of job opportunity problems. The results are considered in relation to counselor training in Turkey and student adaptation in that context.
