- Abstract
In the environment where the suitability of the consultation theories developed in the West is discussed, post-modernist consultation approaches, which take the basis of multiculturalism and feminist perspective, have emerged in response to these approaches. One of the post-modernist approaches is Relational Cultural Theory. Relational Cultural Theory emerged when Jean B. Miller (1976) published his book "Towards a New Psychology of Women", claiming that counseling theories were developed in a male-centered manner and that these theories could not accurately explain the spiritual structure of women. However, the theory was later extended to be applicable to male individuals. On the other hand, whether or not Westernist modernist approaches are suitable for clients in Turkish culture is a controversial issue. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to evaluate the relation of the Relational-Cultural Theory, which is a culture-sensitive counseling approach, to the Turkish culture. According to the results of the evaluation study, it can be said that the Relational Cultural Consultancy Theory does not accept individualism, and the philosophy approach that people will mature in relationships is suitable for the Turkish society, which has a collectivist cultural structure. On the other hand, the importance of relations, relational cycle, relational movement, social relation, mutual empathy and disconnection are thought to be able to find a response in clients in Turkish culture. As a result, the philosophy of the Relational-Cultural Theory, the point of view of the individual, the consultation process and concepts were evaluated to be suitable for the clients in Turkish culture.
