Social Capital and Civic Association or Class Struggle?
Raju J Das, Jamie Gough and Aram Eisenschitz provide a Marxist critique of new social democracy as the dominant contemporary strategy for local economic and social development. In both the global North and South, new social democracy seeks to develop social capital, strengthen civil society, build not-for-pro¬fit enterprises, encourage self-help, and foster community ties. It seeks participatory forms of local politics to achieve a local class consensus. It promises to improve people's economic and social conditions in the face of neoliberal capitalism, and to empower them. The authors argue that this strategy is severely limited by, and internalises, its capitalist environment. They show that social enterprise can be developed in socialist ways, and contribute to a local politics based in class struggle. But social capital cannot replace the struggle of the exploited and oppressed against capitalism and for a socialist society, a strategy which the authors outline for the local scale.

Abstract
A content analysis of literature from the past seven years was conducted to describe current trends within ethics identified in the counseling literature, focusing on the counseling specialties of clinical mental health, rehabilitation, and school counseling. A review of 72 articles resulted in the emergence of five key topics and following themes: (a) Multicultural counseling and diversity, (b) ethical dilemmas and ethical decision-making, (c) use of social media, telehealth, and technology, (d) supervision, and (e) other ethics topics. Findings from the analysis provided up-to-date information on trends within ethics that were frequently addressed in the counseling literature. Implications for education, practice, and future research are also discussed.
Abstract
In this phenomenological study, the authors explored the lived experiences of seven experienced Korean counselors’ spiritual changes and growth through their counseling relationship. Three semi-structured interviews were conducted with each participant. Using an iterative process, the findings were categorized into six themes and 14 sub-themes. Six themes include believing in clients and loving them, appreciating their relationship with God, finding meaning in life, accepting the client as teacher, feelings of being connected, and recovering after experiencing limitations. Implications for how spirituality can be utilized in counseling and counseling education were presented.
