Decolonization Vs. Westernization in Counseling

The authors of this manuscript conducted a content analysis of the counseling literature available, particularly those articles published in counseling journals that address decolonization and counseling. The first search was conducted using Google Scholar and then narrowed by the articles only in counseling journals. This yielded a total of 21 articles. The content analysis phase was done using AskPDF (AskPDF, 2024) to find the main themes of the articles, followed by another qualitative analysis of the themes and the citations in the articles to find scholars from the Global South, using HyperResearch version 4.5.6 (2023). The results indicated that only eleven articles mentioned people of color, while only one cited scholars from the Global South.
