This study explores the intersection of psychodynamic theories and culturally competent therapeutic practices withinx` the context of counseling. Through a mixed-methods research design, we investigated the relationship between psychodynamic knowledge and cultural competence among mental health professionals in Vietnam. The study involved 95 participants and utilized a survey questionnaire, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The findings reveal a positive correlation between psychodynamic knowledge and cultural competence, indicating that a robust understanding of psychodynamic theories may enhance counselors' ability to navigate cultural nuances. Regression analysis further elucidates the unique contributions of psychodynamic knowledge and cultural competence to counseling outcomes. These results contribute practical insights to the evolving field of counseling, emphasizing the need for a holistic skill set that integrates both theoretical knowledge and cultural competence. The study's specificity to the Vietnamese context highlights the importance of culturally adapted interventions in diverse counseling settings.
