Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While counselors develop multicultural competence through counselor education, training, and supervision, the practice and demonstration of multicultural competence remains nebulous and lacks thorough prescription of specific counseling skills. The present study was conducted to explore and concretize the skills used by LGBTQ+ counseling trainees to demonstrate multicultural competence for understanding the client worldview and the counseling relationship. Data was gathered with twelve LGBTQ+ counseling trainees from CACREP-accredited master's-level clinical mental health counseling programs through semi-structured interviews using a relational-cultural theoretical framework. Seven domains encompassed the 37 skill categories that emerged from phenomenological data analysis. The domains included (a) counselor authenticity facilitates healing, (b) openness and curiosity for culture to enter the client's worldview, (c) roles in the counseling relationship promote the client as the author, (d) therapeutic alliance enables change, (e) intersections of counselor and client identities invite deeper work, (f) addressing systems and power dynamics strengthens the counseling relationship, and (g) counselor self-reflection fosters relational impact. The study suggests that LGBTQ+ counseling trainees prioritize skills that affirm multicultural identities through authenticity and empower clients through accountability. Implications for counselor education and practice expand current knowledge of counseling skills in master's-level trainees and promote encouragement of skill development in multicultural counseling courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standard bearing guide for multicultural counseling courses now enhanced with research-based, topical, and pedagogical refinements Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice, 7th Edition is the new update to the seminal work on multicultural counseling. From author Derald Wing Sue – one of the most cited multicultural scholars in the United States – this comprehensive work includes current research, cultural and scientific theoretical formations, and expanded exploration of internalized racism. Replete with real-world examples, this book explains why conversations revolving around racial issues remain so difficult, and provides specific techniques and advice for leading forthright and productive discussions. The new edition focuses on essential instructor and student needs to facilitate a greater course-centric focus. In response to user feedback and newly available research, the seventh edition reflects: Renewed commitment to comprehensiveness. As compared to other texts in the field, CCD explores and covers nearly all major multicultural counseling topics in the profession. Indeed, reviewers believed it the most comprehensive of the texts published, and leads in coverage of microaggressions in counseling, interracial/interethnic counseling, social justice approaches to counseling, implications of indigenous healing, the sociopolitical nature of counseling, racial identity development, and cultural use of evidence-based practice. Streamlined Presentation to allow students more time to review and analyze rather than read more detailed text New advances and important changes, such as expanded coverage of internalized racism, cultural humility, expansion of microaggression coverage to other marginalized groups, social justice/advocacy skills, recent research and thinking on evidence-based practice, and new approaches to work with specific populations. Most current work in multicultural mental health practice including careful consideration of the multicultural guidelines proposed by the American Psychological Association and the draft guidelines for Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC) (2015) from the American Counseling Association's Revision Committee. Expanded attention to the emotive nature of the content so that the strong emotive reaction of students to the material does not prevent self-exploration (a necessary component of cultural competence in the helping professions). Strengthened Pedagogy in each chapter with material to facilitate experiential activities and discussion and to help students digest the material including broad Chapter Objectives and more specific and oftentimes controversial Reflection and Discussion Questions. Every chapter opens with a clinical vignette, longer narrative, or situational example that previews the major concepts and issues discussed in the chapter. The Chapter Focus Questions serve as prompts to address the opening 'course objectives,' but these questions not only preview the content to be covered, but are cast in such a way as to allow instructors and trainers to use them as discussion questions throughout the course or workshop. We have retained the 'Implications for Clinical Practice' sections and added a new Summary after every chapter. Instructor's Handbook has been strengthen and expanded to provide guidance on teaching the course, anticipating resistances, overcoming them, and providing exercises that could be used such as case studies, videos/movies, group activities, tours/visits, and other pedagogy that will facilitate learning. Easier comparison between and among groups made possible by updating population specific chapters to use common topical headings (when possible). Offering the perfect blend of theory and practice, this classic text helps readers overcome the discomfort associated with discussions of race, provides real-world examples of how to discuss diversity and difference openly and honestly, and closely examines the hidden and unwritten rules that dictate many aspects of diversity in today's world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multicultural Counseling Competence represents the next giant step toward implementing multicultural standards into the counseling profession. Logically organized and with a list of impressive contributors, . . . this book not only is well grounded in theory and research but is a practical guide to how graduate schools of counseling, clinical psychology, social work, and other helping professions might infuse multicultural competence into their faculty and students, curriculum, field work, and supervision. . . . The editors have made a major substantive contribution to the counseling profession with this text. They have accepted the challenge of cultural diversity and are serving the roles of pioneers in seeking both individual and institutional multicultural competence. --from the Foreword by Derald Wing Sue Professional associations such as the American Psychological Association and the American Counseling Association are beginning to mandate cultural counseling competencies in their ethical guidelines. That is, counselors who work with ethnically, linguistically, and culturally diverse clients must be multiculturally competent. How can multicultural competency be assessed in counselors? How can these competencies be acquired? In this volume, a cast of leading researchers and educators in multicultural counseling and psychology addresses the issues of what makes a counselor multiculturally competent and how to create more culturally competent counselors. Multicultural Counseling Competence considers ways to evaluate counselors for their awareness, knowledge, and skills in working with a broad spectrum of populations. Chapters also examine at length the pedagogical implications of establishing competencies, including training philosophies and models as well as course and curriculum development. Likewise, a group of contributors consider the impact that multiculturalism has on supervision and the theories and strategies that supervisors can use to ensure a culturally competent clinical environment. A cornerstone volume, Multicultural Counseling Competence pulls together the essence of issues facing the establishment of competencies. Counseling educators and supervisors especially will want to use this book to ensure that their programs help counselors become more culturally aware and serve all clients with efficiency and respect.

Download or read book Assessment of Implicit Bias and Self reported Multicultural Counseling Competencies Among Counseling Trainees written by Guy A. Boysen and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that multicultural training increases competency among counselor trainees. However, these results have been obtained using self-report measures affected by social desirability. In contrast, implicit measures of bias have the advantage of being less susceptible to social desirability. Study 1 explored the reliability and validity of a measure of implicit bias. Study 2 examined self-reported multicultural counseling competency and implicit bias toward lesbian and gay men and African Americans at the start and end of a semester in a sample of counselor trainees (n = 124) enrolled in multicultural counseling or unrelated comparison courses. Results indicated that multicultural competency increased as a factor of time and that significant implicit bias was present at all assessments. Discovering implicit bias among counselor trainees who have completed multicultural training indicates that the topic of implicit bias should be included in multicultural course work.

Download or read book Exploring Cultural Dynamics and Tensions Within Service Learning written by Trae Stewart and published by IAP. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Service-learning is an exciting pedagogy and field of study, offering insight into how academic study and community engagement blend to create social change. In its most traditional conceptualization, servicelearning activities typically manifest within communities where outside individuals address a need. Service learning is purported to have a transforming effect on individual student perspectives by providing students the opportunity to interact with people and enter into situations that allow students to test their predisposition towards others. However, the literature on the impact of service-learning on participants' acceptance of diversity and development of open-mindedness reports mixed outcomes. The purpose of this book is to explore cultural tensions and dynamics within the field of service-learning. It is not meant to be an exhaustive review of the interplay between culture and service learning, but rather a starting point for an ongoing conversation about how this complex topic impacts the field. In 18 chapters, educators, students, and administrators investigate the cultural values of service-learning itself and the tensions created when this is at odds with the values of others within K-12 and higher education in the United States and abroad. Authors include community organization representatives, researchers, directors of offices of community engagement, university administrators, junior and senior faculty, and former service-learning undergraduate students. Submissions reflect a range of genres, including theoretical / conceptual pieces, position papers, case studies, and other traditional academic essays, challenging how students and community members are affected by the cultural tensions within service-learning engagement.

Download or read book A CQR Study of Diversity Dialogue Facilitation on Multicultural Counseling Skill Development written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study explored the experiences of counseling trainees and psychologists engaged in facilitating Diversity Dialogues, an experiential multicultural training initiative, and how they perceived facilitation contributed to their counseling skill development and general professional development. Through exploring the behavioral and affective experiences associated with facilitation, this study sought to inform and extend the impact of multicultural counseling training on the multicultural counseling skills development of counseling trainees. Results indicate that the Diversity Dialogues offered a unique learning experience that promoted development in the areas of microskills, clinical group process skills, cultural competency skills, and session management skills. Furthermore, the opportunity to actively engage in discussions on diversity, self-reflect, work alongside a co-facilitator, practice skills in a safe space, and facilitate multiple dialogues were key factors that contributed to skill development. Although the participants initially expressed anxiety about dialogue facilitation, participants appreciated contributing to the multicultural development of others and described gaining confidence in their professional abilities as a result of the overall experience. Results also indicate that Diversity Dialogue facilitation bridges the gap between theory and practice and meet many of the training standards supported by The Counseling Psychology Model Training Values Statement Addressing Diversity (Mintz & Bieschke, 2009). Findings of the study contribute to research in the areas of multicultural counseling competency, multicultural counseling training, experiential training, and intergroup dialogue as evidence suggests that Diversity Dialogue facilitation provided a unique learning environment that promoted reflection and skills growth in the study participants across education and experience level. Counseling training programs are encouraged to reevaluate their model of multicultural counseling training and consider the implications for including a dialogical approach to multicultural counseling skills development. Furthermore, recommendations for implementation are presented.

Download or read book Examining the Assessment of Multicultural Counseling Competence in Couples Therapy written by Allison M. Schomburg and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Much of the previous literature on the assessment of multicultural counseling competence has examined counselors' abilities when working with individual clients; this study expanded prior research by investigating trainees' multicultural case conceptualization ability (MCCA; Ladany, Inman, Constantine, & Hofheinz, 1997) with couples. Additional methodological limitations present in the assessment of multicultural case conceptualization ability were addressed by looking at variables that might detract from competence (i.e., color-blind racial attitudes), examining the stimulus value of the race of the client in the vignette, and exploring the effects of a multidimensional measure of social desirability. The current study also investigated two different assessment methods, self-report and observer-report, of multicultural counseling competence and ascertained how each method is related to multicultural training and clinical experience. The present study represents an exploration of trainees' self-reported multicultural counseling competence, color-blind racial attitudes, social desirability, and multicultural case conceptualization ability when working with couples. Participants completed online a demographic questionnaire, a multicultural case conceptualization ability task (cf. Constantine & Ladany, 2000), the Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale (CoBRAS; Neville et al., 2000), and the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR); Paulhus, 1991). Major findings of the study were: 1) socially desirable responding had no significant relation with the MCCA task, the MCKAS, and two of the three subscale of the CoBRAS; 2) self-reported multicultural knowledge was not related to an observable measure of multicultural counseling competence; 3) multicultural didactic training (other than coursework) accounted for a significant amount of variance in multicultural case conceptualization ability, and the number of multicultural courses taken accounted for a significant amount of variance in self-reported multicultural counseling competence; 4) color-blind racial attitudes did not account for significant variance in MCCA scores above and beyond social desirability and training; and 5) trainee responses to vignettes with African American clients did not differ in MCCA scores from trainee responses to vignettes with European American clients. Implications for research, training, and practice are discussed."--Abstract.
