Aims & Scope
Buletin Konseling Inovatif is committed to advancing counseling methodologies that contribute to the creation of inclusive societies, supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 10: Reduced Inequalities. The journal serves as a platform for scholarly work and practical innovations that promote social justice, cultural responsiveness, and equitable access to mental health services.
The journal's scope covers various interconnected themes within the field of counseling. It focuses on inclusive counseling practices that aim to reduce social disparities, particularly for individuals with disabilities who often face stigma and psychosocial barriers. The journal also highlights multicultural counseling, especially services designed to meet the needs of ethnic, religious, or linguistic minority groups. Additionally, it addresses the challenges faced in delivering mental health services in disadvantaged areas by supporting research on community-based interventions and technological innovations that expand access to care.
Recognizing the importance of professional development, the journal also explores efforts to strengthen the capacity of local counselors through education and training. In line with its social mission, Buletin Konseling Inovatif encourages studies that emphasize the role of counseling in advocacy and social transformation, particularly in contexts of inequality and marginalization.
With this scope, the journal aligns closely with several Scopus ASJC (All Science Journal Classification) categories, particularly Applied Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Social Psychology. These categories reflect the journals’ dedication to both the practical and theoretical dimensions of counseling as a means of fostering psychological well-being and inclusive development.
