Cultural Humility

This is an essential resource for therapists and supervisors committed to meaningful and culturally attuned practice. The authors, who have been so instrumental in introducing the multicultural orientation (MCO) to the field, model in their writing the humility that is at the core of the MCO. In so doing, they guide readers to recognize and capitalize on cultural opportunities, cultivate cultural comfort, and embrace cultural humility-the pillars on which the multicultural orientation rests. - Rodney Goodyear, PhD, Emeritus Professor, University of Redlands, Redlands, CA, and University of Southern California, Los Angeles This book offers accessible and concrete insights about how to enact cultural humility in therapy, a key ingredient for effective therapy with all clients. It is an excellent resource for therapists, trainees, and educators. - Bonnie Moradi, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Florida, Gainesville At a time when diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice are increasingly under assault, mental health professionals must redouble their efforts to cultivate critical self-awareness, honor their clients amp rsquo cultural identities, and create more power-balanced therapeutic relationships.
