CENTRE
FOR DIVERSITY IN COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
The Centre for Diversity in Counselling and Psychotherapy is
an interdisciplinary centre dedicated to research and
development of multicultural and diversity issues in counselling
and psychotherapy, focussing particularly on the stigmatized
social identities of gender, race, sexual orientations, class,
disabilities, religion, and age. One of the key objectives of
the Centre is to facilitate research and scholarship on the
integration and intersection of various marginalised identities
so that counselling and psychotherapy can be conducted through a
paradigm of multiple identities irrespective of particular
counselling approaches. The Centre is well positioned to
undertake this mission as the majority of the faculty are
already undertaking research and teaching in the various areas
of diversity, and this expertise forms the basis for further
research through funded and non-funded projects. The
interdisciplinary nature of the Centre and the engagement of
faculty collaboration promote a rich environment and a creative
clinical niche within which graduate students can be nurtured.
This exposure to discourses of cultural differences juxtaposed
with a variety of holistic approaches to psychotherapy forms a
critical base for the study of diversity in counselling. Click

NEW ZEALAND CENTRE FOR RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY
The Centre aims, through public education and professional
training, to promote safe, effective, and efficient counselling
and psychotherapy for a range of human problems, including
depression, anxiety, anger, addictions, and stress, as well as
personal development and workplace effectiveness. The New
Zealand Centre for Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy officially
came into existence in March 1997, though its origins go back to
1992 when the first REBT training programme was held in New
Zealand (and every year since then). The Centre has since been
expanded to incorporate the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy. Click here for more details.
