Romano Michael Goh Kay Herting Wahl  \nUniversity of Minnesota  \nU.S.A  \nThe impetus for this paper came about after an international conference in Asia which focused on school counseling in the Asia-Pacific region. Representatives from several Asian and non-Asian countries attended the conference and presented their scholarly work. The importance of international exchange about school counseling was emphasized at the conference. In this paper the history of school counseling in the United States (US) is summarized, including descriptions of newer models of school counselor practice and training and suggestions on how these models might strengthen the impact of school counselors. In addition, a brief overview of school counseling in the Asia-Pacific region is presented with attention to cultural issues that need to be considered. Finally, the implications of the US models are discussed and some questions presented that are  \npotentially relevant for countries in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as those outside the region  \nKey Words: school counseling, international counseling  \nIn 2004, the 5th International Conference on Education Research was held at Seoul National University with the theme of school counseling and guidance in the Asia-Pacific region. Scholars from across the region (e. g. China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines as well as other parts of the globe (e. g. Australia, Pakistan, United States) discussed research and programmatic initiatives surrounding the field of school counseling in their respective countries (Kim, 2004) . The importance of international dialogue about the field of school counseling and the profession’s potential to enhance the educational and personal development of children and  \nJohn L.

Therefore, the authors of this paper desire to further the international exchange of information by examining the role of school counseling in the United States (US), with suggestions of implications for the Asia-Pacific region. The exchange of scientific knowledge and practices across countries is critically important as counseling and applied psychology are gaining increasing relevance across the globe (Leong & Ponterotto, 2003; Leong & Blustein, 2000; Marsella, 1998) .  \nSpecifically, this paper has several objectives. First, it will present a history of school counseling in the US and discuss problems that have limited the impact of school counselors during this history. Second, the paper will describe newer models of school counselor training and practice that have been developed in the US in recent years to strengthen the role and impact of the school counselor. Third, the paper will discuss school counseling in the Asia-Pacific region and cultural issues that are important to consider when implementing models of school counseling practice. Finally, the US school counseling experience may be informative to countries that are in the process of developing or refining  \nJohn L.
