Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Hyperscanning Study in Psychological Counseling

Abstract:
This study attempt to identify the role that empathy plays in intercultural counseling. There can be a tendency with assistance, with the nominative goal of neutrality, to use an "indifference to differences," in Camilleri's (1985) terms. Here, empathy is situated as a particularly crucial variable in the intercultural context, because it enables the counselor to explore both the similarities and the differences in one socio-culture to construct a model of the other and improve the quality of his or her intervention. As well, this article underlines the recent interest in the problem of ethnicities in counseling training programs and the difficulties encountered in evaluation of the offered training.
