“…One possible explanation for the importance of counselors' problem-solving styles in the counseling process relates to Confucian philosophy. Confucianism is an educational philosophy that teaches and guides the individual's way of life in Taiwan (Ho & Ho, 1980;Scaff & Ting, 1972;Stickel & Yang, 1993;Yang, Yu, & Yeh, 1990).

One mission of the International Forum section in The Counseling Psychologist is to increase the globalization of counseling psychology (Leong & Ponterotto, 2003). The goals of this study are in line with this mission: (a) to replicate U.S. counseling research on the working alliance to Taiwan by examining clients’perceptions of their counselors’ credibility and (b) to extend the working-alliance literature by examining the role that counselors’problem-solvingstyles play in predicting the initial working alliance. Thirty-one counseling dyads from four counseling centers in Taiwan participated by completing inventories after their first counseling sessions. Results found that (a) clients’ perceptions of their counselors’ credibility and (b) counselors’ perceptions of their problemsolving styles significantly predicted the client-rated, but not the counselor-rated, working alliance. Counseling implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

The impetus for this paper came about after an international conference in Asia which focused on school counseling in the Asia-Pacific region. Representatives from several Asian and non-Asian countries attended the conference and presented their scholarly work. The importance of international exchange about school counseling was emphasized at the conference. In this paper the history of school counseling in the United States (US) is summarized, including descriptions of newer models of school counselor practice and training and suggestions on how these models might strengthen the impact of school counselors. In addition, a brief overview of school counseling in the Asia-Pacific region is presented with attention to cultural issues that need to be considered. Finally, the implications of the US models are discussed and some questions presented that are potentially relevant for countries in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as those outside the region

“…Instead of having the counselor confined to the use of certain counseling approaches with Taiwan Chinese in America, an approach of cultural intentionality may be most beneficial. Cultural intentionality is defined as acting with a sense of capability and deciding from a range of alternatives (Ivey, 1994;Stickel & Yang, 1993). According to Ivey (19941, cultural intentionality can be achieved by a counselor's sense of capability (i.e., a variety of skills and personal qualities within a culturally appropriate framework) to generate alternatives from vantage points.…”
