class reflection: The competency in culture diversity



When we speak about multicultural counseling, a counselor need have the 'special' ability in order to handle this issues. .what is the special ability? needed by them???
A counselor  should be Culturally Competent, they should be able to free self from cultural conditioning of personal and professional training. For example, if a counselor is Malay and he should not impose his own values to other cultures. Don't make them as yours. they have their own values. 
Moreover counselor also need to understand and accept the legitimacy of alternative worldviews. different region possess a different law. the other way to be competent in cultural diversity, a counselor should begin the process of developing culturally appropriate intervention strategies in working with clients. they also need to trained their self to become aware of systemic force affecting both clients and self.
