Description
Sex and Gender: Sex refers to the biological characteristics that categorize someone as either female or male; Gender refers to the socially determined ideas, roles and practices of what is expected of male or female. These ideas and roles are assigned by cultural beliefs of a community. Culture: This is distinctive patterns of ideas, beliefs, and norms which characterize the way of life and relations of society. We already said that culture defines the roles of men and women. This brings about gender stereotypes. For example we normally assume that women cannot be leaders or cannot initiate development for the family, only men can. This is a stereotype because there are many cases where women are actually the breadwinners of their families. Men cannot be good in child caring, another stereotype which prevents men from childcare duties even if they might be good at it. Another way to understand these concepts is to know the meaning of patriarchy; systemic societal structures that institutionalize male physical, social and economic power over women. That is why it is important to understand the concept of power relations; the hierarchical power between men and women that tend to disadvantage women.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Counseling is a process, as well as a relationship, between persons. Contrary to what some people
believe, counseling is not concentrated advice-giving.
The aim of the counselor is usually to assist the person or persons (client or clients) in realizing a
change in behavior or attitude, or to seek achievement of goals.
Often there are varieties of problems for which the counselee may seek to find help.
Some forms of counseling include the teaching of social skills, effective communication, spiritual
guidance, decision-making, and career choices.
Counseling may sometimes be needed to aid one in coping with a crisis. Other types of counseling
include premarital and marital counseling; grief and loss (divorce, death or amputation); domestic
violence and other types of abuse; special counseling situations like terminal illness (death and
dying); as well as counseling of emotionally and mentally disturbed individuals. Counseling could
be short-term (brief counseling) or long-term.
Psychology is the study of the human mind and behavior.
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior, according to the American
Psychological Association. Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and includes many sub-fields
of study such areas as human development, sports, health, clinical, social behavior and cognitive
processes
