Development of the Profession of Counseling in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania: A Grounded Theory Study

The positive mental health of a country\u27s population has a direct correlation to that country\u27s economic and social advancement. As a result, the development of the counseling profession is critical. Even though fewer than half of African member states have an existing mental health policy in place, initiatives to establish mental health policies and develop the counseling profession are underway across the African continent. In general, there is a significant deficit of counseling literature, and specifically, research on the development of the counseling profession in Africa. This grounded theory study sought to explore the experiences of counseling leaders related to the development of the counseling profession in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Through theoretical and snowballing sampling techniques, 11 counseling leaders were sought and interviewed. Five themes emerged during the study forming a five-level model. The five conditions in the model of the development of the counseling profession in these countries include traditional/indigenous factors, societal/systemic factors, professional factors, personal factors, and results of professional counseling

Les approches de défense des droits et de justice sociale auprès des immigrants et réfugiés et leur lien avec la formation des conseillers

In the current world, working with immigrants and refugees presents unique clinical and case management challenges that may go beyond standard training offered in most counsellor education courses on diversity. This applied conceptual article examines some of the barriers to working with immigrants and refugees. It also discusses approaches to including a focus on immigrants and refugees in counsellor education programs and courses as well as suggestions for counsellors working with these members of the community. In addition, an advocacy and social justice mandate to provide exposure to and teaching about clinical work with these often overlooked members of society is presented.Dans le monde actuel, le fait de travailler avec des populations d’immigrants et de réfugiés comporte des difficultés considérables de gestion clinique et de cas qui peuvent aller bien au-delà de la formation standard offerte aux conseillers dans le cadre de la plupart de leurs cours de sensibilisation à la diversité. Cet article conceptuel appliqué permet d’examiner certains des obstacles que comporte le travail auprès des immigrants et des réfugiés. On y discute aussi différentes approches visant à mettre l’accent sur les populations d’immigrants et de réfugiés dans le cadre des cursus et des cours destinés aux conseillères et conseillers, ainsi que des suggestions à celles et ceux qui œuvrent auprès de ces groupes. On y présente également un mandat de défense des droits et de justice sociale qui doit prévaloir lorsqu’il s’agit d’exposer et d’enseigner le travail clinique auprès de ces membres de la société trop souvent ignorés
