In spite of the increasing emphasis on multiculturalism in counseling, the multicultural perspective has largely remained as a blind-point in China which has one fifth of the world’s total population. Counseling theories, their applications, as well as training of counselors in China have been based on transposing those traditional models from Western countries without cultural variations. This paper intends to introduce the multicultural perspective to Chinese therapists and researchers with an ultimate purpose of promoting multicultural counseling in China. This paper first introduced the history, conceptualization, and misconceptions of cross-cultural/multicultural counseling, followed by systematic ways of promoting multicultural counseling in China. Specifically, this paper argued for attention to heterogeneity of Chinese clients in terms of ethnic groups, geographic locations, gender, family structure, social economic status, age, and other cultural dimensions. Moreover, this paper called for the need of modifying the Western culture-based counseling theories when applied in China and incorporating them with the traditional Chinese philosophies such as Confucianism and Daoism. Finally, this paper discussed the importance of research on multicultural counseling in China, and how research can better inform counselors to develop more culturally responsive interventions for Chinese clients.
