Cultural humility is an important component of psychotherapy and training in applied psychology in recent years (Davis et al., 2018). To date, cultural humility has not been applied to education in psychology. Guided by broad multicultural, multicultural orientation, and cultural humility literature, we provide support and recommendations for developing and utilizing cultural humility in psychology education. Specifically, we provide the following recommendations for facilitation of cultural humility by educators and researchers in psychology: (a) participating in self-reflection and evaluation of personal power, privilege, and marginalization; (b) engagement in lifelong cultural learning; (c) allowing students to determine which identities are salient; (d) cultivating a classroom in which cultural humility can occur and encouraging a developmental approach to understanding culture; (e) developing assignments and course content in the interest of fostering cultural humility among students; (f) providing mentorship that honors students' cultural identities; and (g) demonstrating awareness of limitations of traditional research methods.
Within the university classroom, it is often difficult to discern student readiness to discuss gender in an expansive, complicated, and nuanced way. We suggest that it is essential to foster the relationship between personal gender narratives and dominant cultural constructs. Using an integrated Feminist, Group, Narrative, and Relational-Cultural (RCT) approach, we advance the argument that a one-size-fits-all approach is limiting and, instead, embrace different stages of competency or readiness, with varying degrees of foundational knowledge and diverse experiences. We offer examples and interventions based on stages of readiness in group, and common challenges within the classroom.
The prevalence of domestic violence in the sports community continues to be a controversial topic of discussion. The conversation that surrounds domestic violence and athletes often occurs through a sports-only lens. Policies have been implemented by the various professional leagues, such as the Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), and National Football League (NFL), to combat numerous incidents of domestic violence. Policies vary for each respective league. Discussion of domestic violence in sport has barely scratched the surface of identifying the complexity of the ethical dilemmas that psychologists may encounter. Three of these dilemmas are identified and discussed here: mandated treatment, confidentiality, and informed consent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
