  • Recognize one’s own attitudes about the various social and systemic forces that affect individuals based on age, class, disability, gender, race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation, and religion and spirituality, and to understand concepts of power and privilege as they apply to interventions with populations disproportionately affected by these issues.
  • Examine the effects of social and systemic forces based on age, class, disability, gender, race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation, and religion and spirituality, on effective supervision, consultation, and teaching.
  • Apply research, ethical principles, and relevant law to the practice of these three roles.
  • Discuss strategies to decrease risk of burnout and to increase career-enhancement activities.

PSY85120: Supervision and Consultation Seminar and PSY85130 Supervision Lab

Through a variety of methods and activities, students will be encouraged to focus on their own values and cultural orientations, to become aware of stereotypes, address prejudices, and develop the skills to relate with different kinds of people through their clinical practice. Students will gain knowledge of the literature (i.e., theory, research, and practice) and major issues in the field of multicultural psychology. Students will participate in small and large group discussions and activities to clarify the role of cultural diversity in their personal and professional development as psychologists.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will

  • assess the impact that systems of race/ethnicity, gender, age, SES, religion, sexual identity, disability, etc. can have on the client and counseling process.
  • understand the significance of cultural diversity issues as an integral component of a psychologist’s ethical and professional responsibilities and ongoing professional development.
  • develop an awareness of their (a) own cultural origins and (b) biases, stereotypes, and assumptions and how these can interfere with their ability to be an effective counselor, including in-class experiential activities.
  • develop an understanding and appreciation of the role that culture and diversity play relative to the growth, development, and functioning of the client.
  • develop knowledge, sensitivity, and skills necessary to work effectively with culturally diverse clients.
