10.7 Conclusion and Outlook

First of all I would like to point out that I am not a native speaker thus my English is by no means perfect. Nonetheless, I hope you will gain much information from this book and with it increase your knowledge and understanding about counselling.

I thank David Dutch (EAC) and Renate Luther for helping with the translation and Sofiia Molot for the editing process.

I am writing this book from various roles that I currently hold, and I would like to link the enumeration directly with heartfelt thanks to the many colleagues from the various institutions:

My team in the "Counselling Research Unit" at the University of Cologne, Germany include Annette Hummelsheim, Marc Höcker, Robert Baum, Clara Stein, and Bianca Rusch. I would especially like to thank Sofiia Molot, who played the most prominent part in bringing the book together, formatting it, etc.

Within that unit I lead the research group for "World Mapping: Europe" with Vivien Magyar, Leonie Ziehm, Nina Reiter, Nina Bergemann, Chiara Epifani, Sarah Krütt and Agnes Ottinger.

I head the "Centre for Advanced Teaching and Learning (ZHD)" at the University of Cologne, too. Together with Hendrik den Ouden and Miriam Gertzen I have developed expertise in Adult Education and Higher Education Didactics.

In addition to working at the university I am also director of the koelner-institut.dewhich offers non-university teaching of counselling. My special thanks there go to Christine Jablonski, Martina Masurek, Franziska Gnest, Jonas Lichtenberg, Robert Baum and last but not least the co-director, my wife, Kathrin Meiners.

In April 2019, I became President of the 'European Association for Counselling (EAC)'. I especially thank Eva Metallidi (Vice President), Ivana Paunovic (General Secretary), Carolina Welin (Treasurer), David and Brenda Dutch (Webmaster and Administrative Assistant) for their support and guidance.

In May 2019, I became a member of the Executive Council of the 'International Association for Counselling (IAC)'. From the Board of IAC, I especially thank Bill Borgen (President) and Naoise Kelly (CEO) for their contribution to Chapter 3, and Dione Mifsud (past president IAC) for our diverse cooperation (e. g. the University of Cologne and University of Malta).

I thank Carl-Auer Verlag publishing who have been responsible for bringing this book to life. My gratitude to Matthias Ohler, Ralf Holtzmann, Nora Wilmsmann, Sandra Lode, Klaus Müller and Beate Ulrich. I have been associated with them since January 2018 as series editor of the petrol-coloured series "Counselling, Coaching, Supervision."

From January 2020, I became a member of the International Advisory Board "Counselling and Psychotherapy Research Journal – Linking research with practice (CPR)". I thank CPR for their permission to reproduce excerpts from my publications. I thank Natalia Zapolsky for the collaboration – without her, chapter sixwould not exist. Concerning Chapter eight, Research in counselling, I thank my mentor Charles Deutsch, Harvard University, the Marte Meo Research Group, especially my wife Kathrin Meiners, also Sophia Nettersheim. The Genogram Research Group, Clara Stein, Mario Winter, Sven Kullack, and Ellen Aschermann and Kristin Spath. The Research Group "Counselling – European and German Qualifications Framework (EQF/DQR) for Lifelong Learning" Marc Weinhardt, Cornelia Maier-Gutheil, Tim Stanik, Marc Höcker.
