The concept of ‘culture’ is gaining in significance within the discourse of counselling and psychotherapy, as a means of making sense of the ways in which shared identities and behaviours are constructed and maintained. The selection of papers included within this Theme Section explore different aspects of the use of the idea of culture within counselling and psychotherapy. In this introductory piece, we seek to place this work in a social and professional context.
