Description
Description:
What is a modern definition or a contemporary conceptualization of care-giving and counseling? How are the events and trends of our world today shaping the nature and function of the helping professions? Presently, globalism, secularism, extremism, and radicalism constitute a major challenge to individuals, communities, and nations alike and to both the care-giver/therapist and the care-receiver/client! Trans-national, trans-theoretical, and trans-cultural implications will be discussed.
Educational Objectives:
- List four major effects, both advantages and disadvantages, of globalization on us and on our world today.
- Describe two major challenges (socio-cultural and psycho-political) facing psychotherapy and the helping professions in general.
