The perception of counselling services through the lens of college faculty in ChinaDuring the past 20 plus years, professional counselling has taken on an international perspective, given the growth in international students in the United States and the internationalisation of professional counselling (Pendse & Inman, 2017). Studies have focused on the role of professional counselling in China (Li et al., 2016), Japan (Grabosky et al., 2012), South Korea (Ju et al., 2016 and Taiwan (Lin & Chiu, 2019). One such study (Li et al., 2016) revealed that 'Chinese students' willingness to engage the counseling process was based in large part on significant relationships existing among acculturation, ethnic identity, English proficiency, and attitudes toward seeking professional counseling services' (p. 65). These attitudes were often influenced by the attitudes and beliefs held about counselling in their coursework and by the college professors in their home countries. In Taiwan, Lin and Chiu (2019) focused on the provision of mental health services in university counselling centres focused on meeting the mental health needs of college students. In South Korea, Ju et al. (2016) focused their study on the development of credentialing, training and a professional identity, which was similar to the studies previously identified and indicated that an international perspective of counselling is desired among Asian countries.Finally, In Japan, Grabosky et al. ( 2012) also completed a study that focused on the growing need for psychological services within the Japanese culture holistically. The results of these studies, and the

“…One article discussing national counselling association professionalisation noted several steps that may strengthen national and institutional recognition (Montgomery et al, 2018). These included a strong sense of shared identity that is well known and understood, standardisation, a commitment to the good of clients as a primary motivation for decisions, research engagement and support, viability, and strategic engagement with key stakeholders (Montgomery et al, 2018). The Australian counselling profession is already well on the way to what might be full recognition.…”

“…Som sådana förenande grundprinciper framhåller Lebow betydelsen av terapeutiska allianser med patienten, ett behandlingsfokus på relationella faktorer samt tillämpning av metoder som det finns empiriskt stöd för (Lebow, 2017). Offentligt organiserade utbildningar på fältet tycks ha haft en avgörande betydelse för den professionella samsynen om vad som är god verksamhet (Piercy m.fl., 2014;Montgomery m.fl., 2018). De tidigare farhågorna om att professionsreglering och standardisering kan inverka negativt på den behandling som erbjuds kvarstår emellertid.…”

This dissertation fills part of the existing knowledge gap regarding the relationship between the legal obligation to document medical care and treatment on the one hand, and the professional practice, conditions and identities of professionals on the other. Three basic questions serve as points of departure: what are the origins of the obligation to document medical care and treatment? How is the relationship between the patient and the professions affected by the obligation? How does the obligation affect professional identities? The dissertation consists of five sub-projects performed with a combined legal and social constructivist approach. Two relate to the historical emergence of an obligation for physicians and other professions to document medical care and treatment in Swedish healthcare. One concerns how standardized forms of documentation affect the patient's legal position and two are built upon the fact that the legal obligation for licensed psychotherapists within municipal family counselling to document their interventions has lapsed, even though the legislation clearly prescribes such an obligation. The results suggest that the form of governance known as New Public Management has been preceded by regulations regarding the obligation of documentation, which are clearly intended to meet financial and organizational goals. This may have contributed to the fact that Sweden is one of the countries where New Public Management has influenced the public administration the most. The thesis concludes that the effects of the regulations regarding of the obligation to document medical care and treatment, and the forms of implementation of the obligation, are of crucial importance for a patient's legal position. Further research is needed in order to highlight and better understand the processes that are at play when the regulations are enforced and implemented amongst health care professionals.
