The first concise book-length review of counselling in China for an international audience, this book provides a historical acocount of the development of counselling in mainland China and an up-to-date survey of the current situation. Each chapter introduces and reviews key tenets of counselling in China, connected to the country‘s cultural and social background, and will serve as a point of entry in to the primary literature. The chapters will feature academic level material, and written primarily from a scholarly perspective. Though an academic review and not a skills development book, apart from serving the interests of academic researchers worldwide in the growing field of cross-cultural psychology, readers of the book will also include Western counselling practitioners who are interested in extending their knowledge of culture and health beyond the Western perspective in order to address the needs of ethnically diverse populations in their own practice.

Gareth Davey is a faculty member in the Counselling and Psychology Department at Hong Kong Shue Yan University. He is also Visiting Professor at the Yunnan Normal University, and editorial board member of the Asia Pacific Journal of Counselling & Psychotherapy (Routledge). He has lived and taught in China off and on over the past 15 years, and his research and writing primarily concern mental health and therapy. Xiang Zhao is a licenced counsellor in mainland China, and previously set up the Mental Health Education Centre at the Yunnan Experimental School in Kunming, a project which was honoured recently with a local government award. He has authored books, articles and conference presentations about therapy and psychology in China. He is a regular contributor to Chinese magazines related to mental health.
