Abstract
By viewing counseling and therapy in their intercultural context, several points will become apparent: (1) That these functions have spread rapidly to a complex social industry on a world-wide basis; (2) That counseling and therapy as we know them are labels for one of the many alternatives for intervention to influence a person’s mental health; (3) That counseling and therapy as the preferred alternatives are based on assumptions generic to a very small portion of the world’s people; (4) That an interculturally appropriate application in counseling and therapy is necessarily responsive to the social context.
