A distance between people
• There always exists a distance between people in counselling. There is no set of scales to measure this distance, but it can be considered in terms of culture, ethnicity, and language. I'd like to cast some lights on these possible dimensions, and discuss them with you.

A way of measuring a distance between a counsellor & a client
LanguageCulture
Ethnicity
![Page 4: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Same Language & Same Ethnicity
• The same language from the same region & country
• The same cultural background • The same ethnicity• In this simple situation, there are so many
dimensions. So there are a lot of challenges in term of developing good counselling relationship. Differences between a counsellor & a client can be e.g., Age, Sex, Sexuality, Education, Experiences
![Page 5: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The same language & different ethnicities
• The same language• The same NZ cultural background• Different ethnicities (e.g. Maori & 2nd
generation of migrants)• Even though we share the same language,
the level of challenge will be tremendously increased. E.g., cultural sensitivities are required.
![Page 6: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The common language, same(?) ethnicity, & different cultural background
• The English language from different regions or countries (English & American)
• The same ethnicity (European or whites) - Under those categories, people can regard themselves as the same ethnicity?
• Not sharing NZ cultural background
![Page 7: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
English for Speakers of Other Languages 1
• People who speak ESOL• There are migrants who can speak English
reasonably well. It doesn’t indicate their educational level, but their history of country of origin.
• There are countries where English is largely spoken. British colonisation.
• Ironically, they can go out to the other countries more easily.
![Page 8: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
English for Speakers of Other Languages 2
• If English is not largely spoken in their country of origin, it is so difficult for them to learn English, especially after they grew up.
• E.g., as English does not cover all of sounds which Japanese has, Japanese does not cover all of sounds English has. Eventually, people drop the ability to distinguish particular sounds which are not required in their own language.

ENGLISH for Japanese
• “R” & “L”, “S” & “Th” • “Would you like to eat Flied Lice?”• “Can you sink by yourself?”
• There are some sounds English Speakers can not differentiate

Characters
• 2000 to 3000 Chinese characters in Japanese.
• 3500 to 7500 Chinese characters in Chinese.
• 「生」 means “life” or “fresh”, and has many pronunciations. 10 to15 pronunciations are regularly used, but there are more.

What does this distance
indicate?
![Page 15: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Distance of contexts that give
meanings to words
![Page 16: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bakhtin, 1986, p.88
neutral dictionary definitions of the words of a language ensure their common features and guarantee that all speakers of a given language will understand one another, but the use of the words in live speech communication is always individual and contextual in nature ... the word is expressive, but, this expression does not inhere in the word itself.
![Page 17: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Yes or No?
“Yes, I will consider it,” said a Japanese diplomat.“Do you mind if I have this?” “Yes, please”“Don't you like her?” “Yes, I don’t”
What do you mean by saying “…”?

haven't I known yet?

e.g. Evaluation on my speech
• “How is my speech for you?”• You have been trained to
provide positive feedback.• But why do you provide
positive feedback?

Diversity Counselling New Zealand
• Each counsellor uses her/his own counselling philosophy and skills.
• The most important requirement from DCNZ to our counsellors is to understand his/her client.
![Page 30: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A distance between you and I has a
possibility - Deconstruction

You can ask something I have taken for granted
![Page 32: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
First hand talk & Second hand talk
• We tend to hear similar stories. We can not assume that the number of being-told represents the number of existence of the story.
• The people tend to circular salient stories. We cannot spot who told this story to begin with.
• Original story & Circulated story
![Page 33: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Circulated stories by professionals
• Questions can be generated before hand. Questions themselves would not be questioned whether they are appropriate for them or not.
• Questions can generate answers as they require.
• Such answers will be taken and form particular stories. Then they will be circulated.
![Page 34: Some lights on how culture, ethnicity and language operate in counselling and interview](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54578a33af7959a54b8b5bb3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Echoes
The number of echoes you hear doesn’t reflect the number of incidents
themselves.

Ludwig WittgensteinThe Blue and Brown Books (1958)
Instead of "craving for generality” I could also have
said "the contemptuous attitude towards the particular
case"
