in Italy. Italian families continue

in Italy. Italian families continue to be very close and strong.
Typically, children live in their parents' homes in Italy until
they complete college and leave to get married (Cook &
Furstenberg, 2002). Many homes in Italy house three or four
generations. Furthermore, the incidence of suicide in Italy
is quite low. In 1999, 14 out of 100,000 people committed
suicide per year in Italy, whereas the rate in the United States
was 22 out of 100,000 (World Health Organization, 2003).
Also, although some substance abuse problems do exist in
Italy, the incidence is very low compared with that of the
United States. In 1978, Italy adopted a public policy that
transferred the care of persons with mental illnesses from
institutions to the community. There was a particular need for
mental health professionals after the closure of psychiatric
hospitals in 1978, which opened the door to social workers
and professional educators to begin providing counselingrelated
services.
For various reasons, in Italy, there are many counseling
associations. First, counseling is a new profession that was
only recently recognized among the unregulated professions.
The absence of government standards and regulation
has led to each professional organization creating its own
standards regarding the preparation of counselors and the
practice of counseling. Another reason so many associations
exist could be that Italians are very individualistic.
This seems like a caricature, but evidence can be found in
the political world in the dozens of political parties and
organizations. Frequently, when one leader disagrees with
the party to which he or she belongs, a new party is created.
The same happens with professional associations in
every field in Italy.
The following are the major Italian counseling
associations:
• SICO (Società Italiana Counseling [Italian Society of
Counseling]) has approximately 700 members and 60
affiliated schools (www.sicoitalia.it).
• FAIP (Federazione delle Associazioni Italiane di
Psicoterapia [Italian Federation of Psychotherapy
Associations]) has approximately 550 members and
50 affiliated schools (www.faipnet.it).
• CNCP (Coordinamento Nazionale Counsellor Professionisti
[National Coordination of Professional
Counselors]) is a federation of 70 counseling schools
(wviTw.counsellingcncp.org).
• REICO (Registro Italiano di Counseling [Italian Registry
of Counseling]) has approximately 145 members
(wvfcfw.associazionereico.it).
• AICO (Associazione Italiana Counseling [Italian Counseling
Association]), a Gestalt-oriented group, was established
in 1993 and changed its name to AICo Federazione
Nazionale [AICo National Federation] in 2007. AICo
Federazione Nazionale includes approximately 300
counselors and has approximately 20 counseling schools
affiliated with it (www.aicounselling.it/).
• ANCORE (Associazione Nazionale Counselor Relazionale
[National Association of Relational Counselors]) is
a small association affiliated with FAIP that accepts as
members only university graduates (www.ancore.net).
• SICOOL (Società Italiana Counselor e Operatori Olistici
[Italian Society of Holistic Counselors and Operators]),
with 300 members, is slightly different fi-om the others
because its members are professionals in the holistic
field and integrate in counseling sessions mind-body and
holistic techniques, such as shiatsu, ayurvedic massages.

yoga, and meditation (www.sicool.it).
Representatives from some of the counseling associations
in Italy are currently exploring the possibility of creating
a national counselor certification process through the
National Board for Certified Counselors International
(www.nbccinternational.org).
•Current Status of Counseling in Italy
Counselors in Italy are generally self-employed. A large
number of them are psychologists and psychotherapists who
are also counselors. In recent years, professional educators,
social workers, teachers, and other professionals have completed
the training to become counselors. These counselors
were attracted to the field by the possibility of helping people
through a one-to-one relationship. In addition, there is a demand
for professionals in Italy who do not focus on mental
illness but provide services to people who want to be listened
to, want to find their own way to change their lifestyle, or want
to deal more effectively with their insecurities. The counseling
process is attractive to people who feel trapped in the
rhythm and fast pace of modern life and who have become
insecure because of the quick changes within society's rules.
Also, significant immigration in Italy has resulted in Italians
coming into contact with persons whose different values and
habits challenge the status quo of what was once a relatively
homogeneous society, bringing discomfort and confusing the
cultural identity of many Italians.
At this time, there is no official study on the number of
counselors practicing in Italy. Officially, there are approximately
4,000 members listed in the national associations and
federations, but unofficially, the number could be nearly
10,000 because there are many small associations as well as
nonaffiliated individuals. Coimselors are spread all over Italy
and are almost equally divided between the North, Center, and
South, with perhaps a slight prevalence in the North.
Until very recently, counselors could not be hired in public
agencies because the profession is not regulated by the national
government. Nevertheless, with a recent liberalization in the
work market, counselors can be hired by the government as
self-employed professionals for specific projects. Professional
educators and social workers, many of whom are now counselors,
have the professional qualifications required to work in public

di Itali. Keluarga Italia terus menjadi sangat dekat dan kuat.
Biasanya, anak-anak tinggal di rumah orang tua mereka di Italia sampai
mereka menyelesaikan kuliah dan meninggalkan untuk menikah (Cook &
Furstenberg, 2002). Banyak rumah di Italia rumah tiga atau empat
generasi. Selanjutnya, kejadian bunuh diri di Italia
cukup rendah. Pada tahun 1999, 14 dari 100.000 orang melakukan
bunuh diri setiap tahun di Italia, sedangkan tingkat di Amerika Serikat
adalah 22 dari 100.000 (World Health Organization, 2003).
Juga, meskipun beberapa masalah penyalahgunaan zat yang ada di
Italia, insiden ini sangat rendah dibandingkan dengan yang dari
Amerika Serikat. Pada tahun 1978, Italia mengadopsi kebijakan publik yang
ditransfer perawatan orang dengan penyakit mental dari
lembaga kepada masyarakat. Ada kebutuhan tertentu untuk
para profesional kesehatan mental setelah penutupan psikiatri
rumah sakit pada tahun 1978, yang membuka pintu untuk pekerja sosial
dan pendidik profesional untuk mulai menyediakan counselingrelated
layanan.
Karena berbagai alasan, di Italia, ada banyak konseling
asosiasi. Pertama, konseling adalah profesi baru yang
baru saja diakui di antara profesi yang tidak diatur.
Tidak adanya standar pemerintah dan peraturan
telah menyebabkan setiap organisasi profesi menciptakan sendiri
standar mengenai persiapan konselor dan
praktek konseling. Alasan lain begitu banyak asosiasi
yang ada bisa menjadi bahwa Italia sangat individualistik.
Ini tampak seperti karikatur, tapi bukti dapat ditemukan di
dunia politik di puluhan partai politik dan
organisasi. Sering, ketika salah satu pemimpin tidak setuju
dengan. Partai yang ia milik, partai baru dibuat
yang sama terjadi dengan asosiasi profesional di
setiap bidang di Italia.
Berikut ini adalah konseling besar Italia
asosiasi:
• SICO (Società Italiana Konseling [ Italia Society of
Counseling]) memiliki sekitar 700 anggota dan 60
sekolah berafiliasi (www.sicoitalia.it).
• FAIP (Federazione delle Associazioni Italiane di
Psicoterapia [Italia Federasi Psikoterapi
Asosiasi]) memiliki sekitar 550 anggota dan
50 sekolah berafiliasi (www. faipnet.it).
• CNCP (Coordinamento Nazionale Professionisti Counsellor
[Nasional Koordinasi profesional
Konselor]) adalah sebuah federasi dari 70 sekolah konseling
(wviTw.counsellingcncp.org).
• REICO (Registro Italiano di Konseling [Registry Italia
Penyuluhan]) telah sekitar 145 anggota
(wvfcfw.associazionereico.it).

Perwakilan dari beberapa asosiasi konseling
di Italia saat ini sedang mengeksplorasi kemungkinan menciptakan
proses sertifikasi konselor nasional melalui
Badan Nasional Sertifikasi Konselor Internasional
(www.nbccinternational.org).
• Status Saat Konseling di Italia
Konselor di Italia umumnya bekerja sendiri. Sebuah besar
jumlah mereka adalah psikolog dan psikoterapis yang
juga konselor. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, pendidik profesional,
pekerja sosial, guru, dan profesional lainnya telah menyelesaikan
pelatihan untuk menjadi konselor. Konselor tersebut
tertarik ke lapangan dengan kemungkinan membantu orang
melalui hubungan satu-ke-satu. Selain itu, ada permintaan
untuk profesional di Italia yang tidak fokus pada mental yang
sakit tapi memberikan layanan kepada orang-orang yang ingin didengarkan
untuk, ingin menemukan cara sendiri untuk mengubah gaya hidup mereka, atau ingin
berurusan lebih efektif dengan ketidakamanan mereka . Konseling
proses menarik bagi orang-orang yang merasa terjebak dalam
irama dan kecepatan cepat dari kehidupan modern dan yang telah menjadi
tidak aman karena perubahan yang cepat dalam aturan masyarakat.
Juga, imigrasi signifikan di Italia telah mengakibatkan Italia
datang ke dalam kontak dengan orang yang berbeda nilai-nilai dan
kebiasaan menantang status quo yang dulunya relatif
masyarakat homogen, membawa ketidaknyamanan dan membingungkan
identitas budaya banyak orang Italia.
Pada saat ini, tidak ada studi resmi tentang jumlah
konselor berlatih di Italia. Secara resmi, ada sekitar
4.000 anggota yang terdaftar di asosiasi nasional dan
federasi, tetapi tidak resmi, jumlahnya bisa hampir
10.000 karena ada banyak asosiasi kecil maupun
individu nonaffiliated. Coimselors tersebar di seluruh Italia
dan hampir sama dibagi antara Utara, Pusat, dan
Selatan, dengan mungkin prevalensi sedikit di Utara.
Sampai baru-baru, konselor tidak bisa disewa di publik
lembaga karena profesi ini tidak diatur oleh nasional
pemerintah. Namun demikian, dengan liberalisasi baru-baru ini di
pasar kerja, konselor dapat disewa oleh pemerintah sebagai
profesional wiraswasta untuk proyek-proyek tertentu. Profesional
pendidik dan pekerja sosial, banyak dari mereka sekarang konselor,
telah kualifikasi profesional yang diperlukan untuk bekerja di depan umum
