Developed a questionnaire to discern the status of psychology and related mental health fields in non-Western countries. The questionnaire solicited responses in the following areas: perceived causes of psychological distress and behavioral deviance in a particular country, specific methods and procedures used in psychological treatment, and types of problems for which psychological treatment is most often sought. Mental health and related professionals in Barbados, Korea, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, Sudan, and Zambia completed the questionnaire. There are 2 particularly important dynamics that may need to be considered in US counselors' interactions with clients from non-Western cultural backgrounds: kinship influences and religious-spiritual influences.
