Based on his academic training, extensive research, and years of experience as a practitioner, Mark Harrison together with two like-minded academics have put together a source book for school counselling in East and Southeast Asia. This is a much-needed text as school counsellors in these regions have been struggling to indigenize theories and practices imported from the West for a better fit with their cultural values and needs. The chapters on the challenges faced by school counsellors and their vision for the further development of the counselling profession are exceptionally informative. Prof. Catherine Tien-Lun Sun Senior Academic Vice-President, Hong Kong Shue Yan University President, Asia Pacific Rim Confederation of Counsellors The rise of school counselling internationally and particularly in Asia over the past ten years is evidenced in this book on School Counselling in East and Southeast-Asia edited by Harrison, Lee and Yu. The COVID-19 pandemic, refugee crises, socio-economic changes, and developments in education that has transpired worldwide over the past few years taught us that we must learn how to deal with stress and uncertainty. Evidenced in the various chapters in this book is an integrative eco-systemic approach addressing the challenges and opportunities for responsive and remedial interventions that focus on helping children succeed academically and personally through culturally sensitive mental health service provision. I strongly support the greater dialogue and cross-cultural collaboration amongst researchers and practitioners in the field engendering viable, harmonious and inclusive opportunities for all through the valuable contributions made by school counsellors in this book.
