Abstract

Multiculturalism concept comes from the desire to have similarity and confession among each culture in Indonesia, with the understanding that no tribe is better than other tribes. It is the root of the nation unifying motto of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. A concept of cultural equality in Indonesia can be introduced to society through education, which can be implemented into counseling programs in the School. The implementation of multicultural counseling is expected to facilitate individuals to be a responsible person for themselves, society, and God. The application of multicultural counseling is divided into two perspectives, the first is viewing culture from a universal perspective (ethics). This perspective emphasizes that the most basic element of counseling is interpersonal relationships and all counseling is multicultural counseling so there is no need for theory and technique in counseling. The second perspective is viewing culture in the perspective of uniqueness (emic). This perspective sees the need for a collaboration between current theories and techniques on the unique values of Indonesian culture. The direction of multicultural counseling development to Indonesia will make the culture as the basis in an effort to build an interpersonal relationship between counselor and counselee.
