Abstract
Traditional counselling theories have frequently been criticised for their lack of multicultural relevance, yet even today many UK counsellors assume a prevailing white (and middle class) culture. This summary of research findings in multicultural counselling has had to rely entirely on evidence from the USA, since to my knowledge very little comparable work has been done in this country.This section gives a brief overview of the current research, emphasizing its lack of agreed findings and the limitations in methodology. It then focuses on three major questions, asking whether counsellor race/ ethnicity, explicit multicultural counsellor education and current research affect the counselling process and outcome.
