In this brief chapter, we summarize the parallel and divergent features of the multicultural and feminist theoretical positions discussed in chapters 2 through 5. It is our hope that this overview, along with the common principles, foundations, and converging themes discussed in chapter 1, will provide the foundation necessary for educators to articulate meaningful pedagogical models. Common to all the multicultural and feminist models discussed in previous chapters is the goal of reenvisioning pedagogy such that the voices of individuals who are marginalized in traditional education are centralized. However, the specific aims and the process by which this goal is achieved are likely to vary depending on one's theoretical entry point or standpoint. Our purpose in this brief chapter is to facilitate integration and synthesis by summarizing common dimensions as well as areas of overlap and difference among the feminist, multicultural education, and multicultural counselor training approaches.
The goal of this paper is to draw attention to the contributions of Canadian counselling psychologists in three key areas central to the discipline: (a) multiculturalism, social justice, and advocacy; (b) health, wellness, and prevention, and (c) career psychology. Accordingly, we have situated our discussion within a historical framework of the discipline followed by a discussion of the Canadian context, definitions, and specific contributions. Finally, we offer a summary of the strengths and current challenges faced by Canadian counselling psychologists.
