“…As with other values‐related concerns, counselors bear the burden of developing awareness of their own moral operating system so that they can work with and within the client's moral world (ACA, ). However, as demonstrated in the case study, clients may experience disequilibrium when new circumstances challenge their moral assumptions (Feldman, Abo‐Zena, Roeser, & Warren, ). Counselors may then act as moral midwives and bear witness to the birth of greater moral complexity within the client.…”

Multicultural competency requires awareness of one's own values and possession of the knowledge and skills necessary to work ethically with clients who hold worldviews and values that may differ from the counselor. Recent cross‐cultural research on moral psychology provides a useful framework for categorizing values and understanding how clients prioritize competing values when making decisions. Six foundations of moral foundations theory are presented and matched to 6 ethical principles that are foundational to the ACA Code of Ethics (American Counseling Association, ). A case study illustrates how moral foundations theory can be applied in a culturally sensitive way.

The constellation of social influences on the development of exemplary spiritual youth includes caregivers, spiritual mentors, and peers, but existing research inadequately captures the cultural and religious meanings of these social influences from the perspectives of young people. From a holistic perspective, this study seeks to understand how youth spiritual exemplars incorporate social influences in their own spiritual developmental trajectories and toward a humanistic psychology. Drawing on three narrative-based case studies of spiritual exemplars identified through a culturally embedded nomination process, this study provides illustrative person-centered examples of how youth recognized for being spiritual draw on social influences and excavate cultural and religious beliefs and values as part of their religious and spiritual development. We found that diverse youth’s narratives prominently featured multiple social influences and reflection about them that revealed the reciprocal manner in which religious, spiritual, and cultural beliefs and social relationships influence each other. We conclude by discussing implications for considering the complexity of diverse meanings of social influences for youth.
