Abstract

Multicultural counseling theorists and researchers have noted the importance of providing culturally sensitive services to ethnic minority clients. This article reports on the results of a study that was designed to assess the impact of a culturally consonant group format among Native Hawaiian adolescents. The study investigated the efficacy of a 10-session group counseling format using a Native Hawaiian healing method and culturally indigenous form of communication that was designed to enhance the participants' self-esteem and internal locus of control orientation. The results suggest that the group format had a positive impact on the adolescents' general and parent /home-related self-esteem.
