Course Content
Designed to establish a theoretical and practical understanding of the multicultural psychotherapy process. Includes a focus on cultural differences, multicultural therapy competencies, models of racial and cultural identity development, multicultural assessment procedures, and culture-specific (emic) and universal (etic) helping styles. A broad understanding of diversity, including culture, religion, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and disability will be utilized. Also, students will be guided to challenge their own biases and assumptions toward culturally diverse individuals through the use of experiential exercises and discussions.
