Abstract

Roundtable presentation at the Southern Association for Counselor Education and Supervision Conference

With an ever-increasing emphasis on multicultural competency and experiential education, more and more colleges and universities are offering study abroad programs specifically for counselors and counselors in training. Re-entry, also known as reverse culture shock, is an issue counselor educators must address when planning an international sojourn with their students or when working with students returning from an international experience. What is reverse culture shock? Is it unique to students? Why should we, as counselor educators, care about this phenomenon? A review of relevant literature, personal experiences by the presenters, and an action plan will be presented.
