Foreword
From my many years of experience in training psychological counsellors, I can say with certainty, that knowledge of psychological counselling can transform a person into an effective teacher or parent. I am delighted to learn that the Faculty of Education and the Hong Kong Institute of Educational Research (HKIER) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong have responded to society's needs by offering a series of courses on psychological counselling. These courses encompass the three essential components of counsellor training: (1) conceptual frameworks and basic knowledge; (2) methods and skills; and (3) professional roles and personal growth, unlike many other programmes, which focus only on the first two.
I am very happy, and very much encouraged, to see that much emphasis has been put on this third component. These courses are an exemplar of well-balanced and well-designed counsellor training. The Faculty of Education and the HKIER is already renowned for its counsellor training programmes. With such carefully designed curricula and excellent teachers and trainers, this series of counsellor training courses will definitely become the nurturing ground for teachers, parents and those related professionals who want to help our children to grow up into fine, healthy young men and women.
