Johannes F. Everts, Dato' Mohd. Yunus Mohd. Noor

Abstract

This article describes an introductory course in effective human relationships for health professionals, run at the Universiti Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It raises a number of issues regarding the relevance of counselling for the culture of a mainly Muslim Asian country, for the culture of health professionals, and for the culture of a hospital. The results of this project indicate that counselling has relevance within all these cultural contexts, but raises ongoing concerns.

Keywords:  Effective human relationship; health professionals; Kuala Lumpur; Malaysia
