Features: The language, thoughts, behavioral norms, and culture of social groups all influence interpersonal communication, feelings, and emotional expression. Cultural traditional concepts affect people's ways of thinking and problem-solving approaches through words and language structures. This book includes the articles of each scholar who participated in the seminar and the abstract of the seminar content, covering topics such as the contradictions of the "localization" concept, the issues and debates of the "East-West dichotomy," the enhancement and application of body, mind, spirit, and the meaning of life; as well as counseling's ultimate meaning. In addition to counseling practices in Chinese-speaking societies, we also debated the universality of Western counseling methods: such as difficulties in cognition, emotions, and expression, genuine care, and unconditional self-acceptance, which are also common in Eastern societies.
