The second article “Counseling in the cultural and spiritual context of the client (case analysis)” reveals the process of culturally oriented counseling on the example of a father-son relationship. The third article, “Ethnic and religious identity as a client's resources in working with a psychologist,” reveals the process of psychological counseling, taking into account cultural, religious and individual diversity, using the example of the relationship between a spouse and her missing husband. In the fourth article “Cultural and spiritual dimension in psychological counseling (case analysis)”, an analysis of a multicultural approach in psychological counseling, which takes into account the ethnic and religious specifics of the client, is given on the example of a specific case of the work of a psychologist sensitive to cultural and spiritual differences with mother-daughter relationships.

The results of the study showed that the multicultural competence of the therapist provides him not only with a high level of client confidence, but also a professional approach based on the use of ethno-religious resources in therapeutic work.
