counseling people of a different culture

Your paper should be 4-5 pages in length, in APA format. Cover page, reference page, and abstract are not included in the page count. Choose a population with which you are not familiar, or with whom you feel uncomfortable. This will help to familiarize you with your chosen population and enable you to provide better counseling services for them in the future.

For this assignment, you must go beyond the reading of our textbooks, and interview a prominent member of the culture you want to write about, and study and cite in your paper at least three peer-reviewed journal papers dealing with issues specific to that culture. While data about your population, and details about your interviewee’s life can be included, your paper should be focused on the views that this culture holds about counseling, and on how to counsel clients from your chosen population.

CHOSEN POPULATION: ZAMBIAN AFRICANS
