Allen E Ivey transformed counselling theory and practice. Since the 1960’s his contributions to the counselling field includes the introduction of the ‘Developmental Counselling & Therapy (DCT), while his most significant contribution in the recent times is the incorporation of Multi-Cultural awareness, knowledge and competencies into the practice of counselling. As we all have learnt, Ivey revolutionised the teaching of the basic counselling skills and his teaching techniques has made it easier for practitioners to learn the basic counselling skills intentionally, effectively and efficiently.
