  1. CHAPTER 13MINORITY GROUP THERAPISTS: WORKING WITH MAJORITY AND OTHER MINORITY CLIENTS

  2. Therapists of Color • Therapists of color are not immune from their own cultural socialization or inheriting the biases of the society as well

  3. Interracial Bias and Discrimination • People of color become concerned about discussing interethnic and interracial misunderstandings and conflicts between various groups for : • fear that such problems may be used by those in power • assuage their own guilt feelings excuse their own racism

  4. Oppressive Strategies • Divide and Conquer -“as long as people of color fight among themselves, they can’t form alliances to confront the establishment” • Divert attention away from the injustices of society by defining problems as residing between various racial groups

  5. Minority-Majority and Minority-Minority Relationships • Not only do we need to engage in self-examination, but it is also clear we are a stimulus to clients through appearance, speech, or other factors that reflect differences • Self-disclosure, or the acknowledgment of differences, may increase feelings of similarity between therapist and client and reduce concerns about differences

  6. Therapists’ and Counselors’ Obligations All therapists and counselors need to: • Become aware of their own worldviews, their biases, values and assumptions about human behavior • Understand the worldviews of their culturally diverse clients • Develop culturally appropriate intervention strategies in working with culturally diverse clients
