    Study Notes

    Multicultural Counseling in Malaysia

    • Estimated 4 million Malaysians are living with disabilities, but only 453,258 people with disabilities are registered in Malaysia as of 2017.
    • Disability is defined as long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments that hinder full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.

    Disability in Malaysia

    • Persons with Disabilities Act 2008 defines persons with disabilities as those with long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments that interact with various barriers to hinder full participation in society.
    • Consider office accessibility and scheduling to accommodate clients with disabilities.
    • Use person-first language (e.g., "person with a disability") instead of disability identity language (e.g., "disabled person").

    Language and Disability

    • Use the client's preferred language term.
    • Avoid language that focuses on a perceived deficit (e.g., "confined to a wheelchair" instead of "person who uses a wheelchair").
    • Ask about disability, even if not visible, and assess perceived social support.

    Clinical Implications: Assessment

    • Ask the client about their disability and its impact on daily life.
    • Assess the disability model(s) to inform case conceptualization and intervention.
    • Failure to conform to or internalize stereotypes is not necessarily denial of disability status.

    Clinical Implications: Diagnosis

    • Consider how a particular model of disability informs the presenting problem.
    • Higher levels of anxiety following acute disability onset may resemble a panic disorder.

    Gender and Sexuality

    • Genderqueer is an identity that falls anywhere between man/boy/male and woman/girl/female on the spectrum of gender identities.
    • Gender dysphoria is a conflict between a person's physical or assigned gender and the gender with which they identify.
    • Asexual people do not experience sexual attraction.
    • Intersex people are born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't fit typical male or female classifications (4% of births).

    The Men's Movement

    • The men's movement is a response to criticism of traditional masculine roles and their position of power in society.
    • Men are examining the causes of negative and detrimental behaviors such as male violence, rape, and sexual assault.

    Men in Counseling

    • Male-friendly counseling involves understanding masculine values and designing treatment interventions to build and maintain rapport.
    • Counselors should be aware of their own bias, stereotyping, and use of power, and be aware of intersectionality.
    • Men may choose female counselors due to comfort, relational sensitivity, or past negative experiences with male counselors.

    Female Counselor with Men

    • Recognize the impact of men's socialization and differences with one's own gender socialization.
    • Monitor for unresolved issues with men impacting therapy.
    • Be mindful of relationship dynamics, power, and shame.

    Male Counselor with Men

    • Be mindful of male power competitiveness and masculine fusion between client and counselor.
    • Recognize countertransference issues and potential blind spots in shared assumptions.
    • Provide a positive male role model.
