PSYC 597: Multicultural Counseling

Class Program
Credits 3

This course explores a rich variety of ethnic and gender-based cultures and subcultures. Consonant with the overall orientation of the Program, students are challenged to explore both the diversity among cultures, and common elements that unite all peoples. Assumptions of the dominant culture about healthy functioning individuals and families are examined in the light of the great cultural variety found throughout the world. This course invites students to examine their own cultural lenses through which they see others, especially when they are working in a therapeutic environment.
