Abstract

Indonesia is a nation that has diverse cultures and is usually called a multicultural nation. Diverse cultures allow for clashes of customs and cultural conflicts, so various efforts need to be made to continue to increase tolerance in society through education, art, and so on. The counselor is the right person to bring up a personality that shows tolerant behavior towards clients whose culture is different from his own. This research aims to describe counselor personality values to encourage tolerant behavior in serving multicultural clients. A literature review approach to research results on cultures in Indonesia, as well as their frictions, has produced a general picture of the personality of counselors who are able to promote tolerant behavior in counseling. Qualitatively, the results of this research have been presented as well as possible. Several experts in the field of culture and counseling were used as sources of validation in presenting this research data. Through the results of this research, it is possible to understand the counselor's personal characteristics which can be used as a reference for behavior that can foster tolerance in clients with multicultural backgrounds.
