This book serves as a remarkable historical account of the responses of counselling psychologists worldwide to the COVID-19 pandemic. Volume II comprises 17 chapters, each addressing four critical topic areas. In the first section, the chapters delve into the challenges posed by the pandemic, particularly the discontinuation of on-site training and supervision to prevent the spread of the virus. However, remarkable resilience was displayed by many trainers and training programs, who found innovative ways to continue providing training opportunities to their trainees. The second focus is on the populations who require specialized care during times of upheaval, such as individuals with psychosis and severe mental illness. The third section explores the pandemic's impact across cultures and its effects on clients from underrepresented groups. Finally, three chapters offer research perspectives on the pandemic.

Written by esteemed researchers and clinicians in the field of counselling and psychotherapy, both volumes together encompass a diverse range of perspectives and provide valuable clinical recommendations pertaining to effective telepsychotherapy practice. The chapters in these volumes were originally published as a special issue of Counselling Psychology Quarterly.
