Study Notes
Cultural Barriers to Effective Helping
- Three major categories of cultural barriers: culture-bound values, language variables, and class-bound values
- Counselors can impose monocultural standards without regard for differences in lifestyles and cultures, which can lead to cultural oppression.
Racial Identity Development
- Resistance and Immersion Stage: marked by feelings of guilt, shame, and anger. Individuals may feel "brainwashed" by White society.
- Conformity Stage: characterized by internalizing the dominant culture's values and beliefs, including negative stereotypes.
Cultural Competence in Counseling
- Building blocks of cultural competence: knowledge, skills, and awareness
- Covert sexism: Unequal and harmful treatment of women conducted in a hidden manner.
- Environmental microaggressions: subtle, everyday forms of discrimination, such as a lack of Braille in an elevator.
- Myth of the "model minority": Perpetuates misunderstanding between Black and Asian communities.
- Colorblindness is an ineffective approach to addressing racism.
- The burden to become multiculturally competent rests on those from the dominant culture as they have been responsible for marginalization and oppression.
Racism and Oppression
- Racism has evolved into a more subtle and ambiguous form. It is still present in society, even if it is less overt.
- Ableism has received limited attention in the literature on modern forms of oppression but is a key component of inclusivity and diversity.
- Familismo is a high value placed on family loyalty and unity, common in many Latinx cultures.
- White therapists need to overcome sociocultural conditioning to effectively work with diverse populations.
Counseling Challenges
- Clients of color may terminate prematurely from therapy sessions due to mistrust of majority-minority relationships.
- White culture values individualism, independence, and personal responsibility.
Implications for Training and Practice
