I. Introduction
|
A great deal of work has gone into the production of this Conference Special Issue. Authors have submitted articles, reviewers have read papers and provided comments and suggested changes prior to publication, and the journal editors and managers have steadfastly followed up and organised attachment after attachment submitted for review.
A special thank you goes to the Co-Editors of this special issue, Dr Nadine Pelling and Dr Brian Sullivan. Additionally we also thank Dr Randolph Bowers for his assistance in formatting submissions for final publishing and all but a few of the authors of articles in this special issue for blind reviewing various manuscripts. We would also like to acknowledge Dr Catherine Sun whose vision and hard work made the conference and this special edition a reality.
The conference itself was a wonderful experience with nearly 400 delegates and students participating to make this an unforgettable experience. For a full description and photos of the conference further information is available in ACA’s peer reviewed journal, Counselling Australia, Vol 8, #3 Spring 2008 edition which can be found on www.theaca.net.au . Most excitingly a post conference meeting was held with counsellors from Malaysia, Singapore, China, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea to formalize the raising of a new regional association the Asia Pacific Rim Confederation of Counsellors Ltd (APRCC). APRCC will take on representative duties in the region as well as help to develop counselling within the region. For further information on APRCC you can contact the secretariat on philip@theaca.net.au .
Both peer reviewed and invited articles and invited presentations are provided and it is hoped that these all will aid in our appreciation and understanding of counselling in our region.
