“…The original American Psychological Association Division 17 position paper on cross-cultural counseling competencies (APA, September, 1980) and the revised multicultural counseling competencies outlined by Sue, Arredondo and McDavis (1992) are often used as frameworks for developing and assessing multicultural training models, especially in the United States. Most models of cultural competence focus mainly on a combination of three dimensions: (a) awareness of self and others (b) knowledge of other cultures and the worldviews of the culturally different and (c) skills necessary for intercultural communication and work with culturally different people (Corvin & Wiggins, 1989;D'Andrea, Daniels, & Heck, 1992;Sue, 1981;Sue et al, 1992). Diversity education focuses on changes in participants' thinking, affective reactions, and actual behaviors.…”

This paper explores the challenge of diversity in an increasingly multicultural world, and adopts the position that the valuing of diversity can be taught -especially within the context of teacher training and education in general. It gives an overview of major components of diversity training within the context of multicultural counseling, and stresses what counseling can offer teacher training in regard to diversity issues and competencies for the Greek educational setting. Finally, it examines key notions of difference and 'otherness' in Greek thought, which can inform contemporary discourse on diversity and multicultural counseling theory and practice.Nearly twenty-five hundred years ago, the Greek historian Herodotus, reflecting upon his many travels in Eastern Mediterranean, Egypt and the vast Persian empire (which for a time included most of the known world), expressed the following notable moral of human experience: "If all existing customs could somewhere be set before all men [sic], in order that they might select the most beautiful for themselves, every nation would choose, after the most searching scrutiny, the customs they have already practiced." He went on to say that he had many proofs based upon tales and observations that people felt this way about their customs, and that "unless thereupon a man [sic] is mad it is not likely that he would mock the holy rites and long-established practices of other cultures." The historian then concluded that "Pindar was right," when he said that "custom is the king of all"

“…Q. A. Carter, 1995;Corvin, 1989;Hills & Strozier, 1992;McRae & Johnson, 1991), we hypothesized that counselors and counseling psychologists would rate themselves as more multiculturally competent than would clinical psychologists. Furthermore, we hypothesized that counselors and counseling psychologists would exhibit higher developmental statuses with respect to racial identity attitude development.…”

This study documents the relationship between White racial identity development and multicultural counseling competency (MCC) as reported by mental health practitioners. Initial results were generally consistent with J. E. Helms's (1990) construction of White racial identity attitude development theory. More sophisticated statuses of White racial identity development generally correlated with higher levels of perceived MCC. Overall, there was a significant difference in MCC reported between men and women. Among counselors, conflicting relationships were observed between some racial identity statuses and multicultural competencies (skills, relationship).

“…Both literatures emphasize the pitfalls of stereotyping and prejudices and the impact of therapists' values and assumptions on their perceptions of the client, the client's problems, and the therapeutic relationship. Both offer training models which focus on helping clinicians identify and work through their feelings about the other group (e.g., Corvin and Wiggins 1989;Ponterotto and Pedersen 1993;Thompson 1993). To the extent to which the therapeutic encounter between persons affiliated with different sides of a violent political conflict resembles that between therapist and client of different cultures or races, the two literatures can go a long way towards informing clinicians in such dyads and improving the quality of their interventions.…”

Issues in Psychotherapy with Clients Affiliated with the Opposing Side in a Violent Political Conflict

The therapeutic dyad of clinician and client affiliated with rival groups in a violent conflict shares many features that complicate psychotherapy with persons of different ethnic, racial, and cultural groups, including lack of knowledge, negative stereotyping, differences in fundamental values and world views, and power differentials. Although a great deal has been written about these matters, very little has been written about the therapeutic dynamic where therapist and client are affiliated with different sides of a violent political conflict. Based on the sparse literature on the subject and on the clinical experiences of the author and her colleagues, this paper discusses three features that characterize this dynamic, which do not appear in the same way in therapy involving dyads of different races, ethnic groups, or cultures. These are the presence of the ''enemy'' in the consulting room, the therapist's feelings of mistrust towards the client as a representative of the opposing group, and the client's feelings of guilt towards the therapist as a representative of the injured group. The impacts of each feature on the therapist, client, and the therapeutic encounter are explored and suggestions are made for dealing with them. The hope is that professionals' awareness of these issues will help improve the quality of psychotherapy with persons on the rival side of a violent political conflict.
