As They Like It--Culture-Centred Counsellor Education in the Context of Aotearoa New Zealand: A Play on Bicultural Pluralism
Lang, Steve K. W.; Gardiner, Brent D.
British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, v42 n1 p73-85 2014
Against a backdrop of social struggles to rebalance power between colonisers and indigenous peoples, counsellor education at a university in Aotearoa New Zealand is undergoing a transformation. This article explores the creation and application of a framework that results from listening to the voices of indigenous peoples and counselling stakeholders. What is created is a form of bicultural pluralism--bicultural because the indigenous and coloniser have worked together to build cultural bridges, and pluralistic because the framework can be applied to all cultural groups equally. Our goal is to advance community wellness by increasing the capacity of counsellors to work effectively and cross-culturally, thus extending the health resource they can provide to the whole nation.
