Worldview: Implications for Culturally Responsive and Ethical Practice

  • Chapter
Cultural and Social Justice Counseling

Part of the book series: International and Cultural Psychology ((ICUP))

Abstract

Chapter 3 focuses on the concept of worldview, and the implications it has for counseling across cultures, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religion/spirituality, etc. A method for assessing worldview, as identified by core values and assumptions is presented, i.e., Scale to Assess World View-IIĀ© (SAWV-II) along with research findings on the original SAWV and the revised version. The chapter identifies how the concept of worldview can help in establishing a positive therapeutic relationship, and the usefulness of the concept of worldview to facilitate counseling interventions. It highlights how clients with different worldviews identified by the SAWV-II can be facilitated using an existential counseling approach.
