Course Description
Cultural competence in psychotherapy is much discussed. Over time, three main perspectives have developed regarding what constitutes culturally sensitive treatment. In part one of this course the strengths and weaknesses of these perspectives are evaluated in order to move toward an organizing framework in the field.
Part two of the course focuses on cultural competence and clinician expertise, as concepts that have been investigated independently. The author however highlights the interrelatedness of the two concepts and argues for the importance of and rationale for combining two knowledge bases.
