| Περίληψη: | Cultural competence is essential to effective rehabilitation counseling, as practitioners must understand how clients' cultural backgrounds shape perceptions of disability, work, and identity. Ethnographic interviewing offers a culturally responsive approach to eliciting clients' lived experiences through open-ended, non directive questions that privilege the client's own words and meanings. This method emphasizes the emic perspective, enabling counselors to move beyond standardized assessments toward richer, contextually grounded understandings of individual and cultural variation. Within rehabilitation contexts, ethnographic interviewing supports the development of person-centered and strengths-based interventions that reflect clients' values, beliefs, and social environments. A vital element of ethnographic interviewing is active listening, a reflective process that requires counselors to sustain attention, interpret verbal and nonverbal cues, and engage empathetically with the client's narrative. Rooted in Rogers' humanistic tradition, active listening conveys empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard, which are core conditions for therapeutic collaboration. Together, ethnographic interviewing and active listening foster deeper client engagement, enhance cultural attunement, and strengthen counselor–client rapport. This article proposes that integrating these practices into rehabilitation counseling can advance culturally responsive care and contribute to more effective vocational and psychosocial outcomes.
