Overview

Content analysis reveals limited representation of scholars from the Global South in counseling literature, indicating the impact of westernization.

Key Points

  • The analysis found that only 11 out of 21 articles mentioned people of color, revealing a significant gap in representation within counseling literature.
  • Only one article cited a scholar from the Global South, suggesting a dominant narrative shaped by western perspectives in the field.
  • A comprehensive content analysis was conducted on 21 counseling articles to discern themes related to decolonization and counseling practices.
  • These findings highlight the urgent need for more inclusive representation of diverse voices in counseling research and literature.
