Author Description

School counseling as a profession is in its embryonic stage in Vietnam. National education reform initiatives have focused on curricula, standardized tests and textbooks essentially ignoring development of comprehensive professional school counseling programs to resolve the problems of school violence, bullying and students’ mental health in public schools. The American School Counseling Association model can serve as a guide for a culturally appropriate school counseling model for Vietnam. This book has been written on the premise that helps readers essentially understand the Vietnam education context and the existing practice of school counseling and recommendations for developing a professional school counseling model in Vietnam.
