Individualism and Collectivism: What Do They Have to Do with Counseling?
McCarthy, John
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v33 n2 p108 Apr 2005
The author defines individualism and collectivism before examining how they are integral parts of the counseling process for clients and counselors. Although individualism has been assumed to be the norm for the counseling culture in the United States, recent work notes the influence of collectivism on professionals and clients in the counseling system.
