Clinical Supervision for International Counselors-in-Training: Implications for Supervisors

international students' employment search in the united states: a phenomenological study

“…For example, Aycan and Berry (1996) suggested that generational status, education, language mastery, social disadvantage, and cultural distance influenced the psychological adaptation of migrants and minorities. In an educational context, Sangganjanavanich and Black (2009) suggested that international students faced interpersonal isolation, intercultural confusion, and stereotyping during their education. Along the same line, Hanassab (2006) illustrated that discrimination against international students extended beyond academic settings and that to assist with preparations for life after graduation, professionals should recognize the challenges that international students experience.…”

International Counseling Students in Turkey and Their Training Experiences

Supervisees with English proficiency problems may need to consider taking classes to improve their English language skills.…”

“…Existing findings indicate that international counseling students (ICSs) have unique needs when compared to domestic counterparts and they also bring unique contributions to their training environment. However, continued investigation is needed to further shed light on the training and supervisory needs of these students (Mori et al 2009;Sangganjanavanich and Black 2009).…”

“…Research on the training and supervisory needs of international students in counseling and related programs has slowly increased over the past 10 years (cf., Killian 2001;Mittal and Wieling 2006;Mori et al 2009;Ng 2006a;Ng and Smith 2009;Nilsson 2007;Nilsson and Anderson 2004;Pattison 2003;Sangganjanavanich and Black 2009;Smith and Ng 2009).
