Research Article

 The purposes of this research were to understand counselors’ experiences of cultural reflection during their professional development processes and discuss the influences of this experience on their professional development. The stories of five counselors were written according to semi-constructed interviews, which were developed and analyzed using grounded theory. The following important phenomena were noted from the five counselors’ experiences of cultural reflection: (a) Preceding stage: difficulty realizing the influence of culture. (b)Beginning stage: experiencing cultural shock can help counselors increase culture awareness. (c)Early stage: possible over-recognition of the concepts learned from counseling during the stage of lack cultural reflection. (d)Middle stage: experiencing conflicting points of view and puzzling over unsolved problems during the stages of confliction and separation. (e)Later stage: experiencing frustration thus inducing cultural reflection by counselors during the stage of self-reflection and integration. According to the results, clearly the culture shock experience could help increase the culture awareness of counselors. The frustrating experience of learning and applying process of professional theories could induce cultural reflection of counselors.
