The probable future of cross‐cultural counseling, for the next 10 years, was predicted using the Delphi Method—the best available forecasting tool. A panel of 53 identified experts in the field of cross‐cultural counseling completed a 49‐item questionnaire that addressed future developments in the areas of theory and research, training and preparation, and social organization. Results indicated many probable changes in all areas and several areas that remain unclear for the next decade. Nominations for the current top cross‐cultural training programs, journals, and books were also solicited, resulting in a strong consensus.
