Abstract
Cross-cultural research, especially in the area of counselling, has received considerable attention in the professional literature. Closer inspection of published research reveals that most often the variable of race is considered central. Some crucial cross-cultural variables have been ignored in favour of the racial factor. This paper discusses some of these conspicuous cultural factors which are relevant to the counselling process. In addition, some research-specific problems in the ‘cultural arena’ of investigation are considered. The need of effective models for counselling in a ‘culturally mosaic society’ such as Canada is stressed.
