Multicultural Counseling and Therapy (MCT)
Below is two discussion questions. Must have references.
Multicultural Counseling and Therapy (MCT)
Refer to your readings and the mini-lecture by Dr. Sue and prepare a posting that describes your understanding of MCT and review the implications of MCT for counseling practice. How does MCT expand the practices and roles of counselors as therapists, as compared to traditional practices and roles? What is the significance of a client’s social and cultural context within MCT and how does MCT challenge counselors to intervene at the systems level?
The Impact of Group Membership
Sue and Sue (2013) illustrated similarities and differences among people, and the powerful influence of perceived group membership on how we view others and how we view ourselves with this saying: “All individuals, in many respects, are (a) like no other individuals, (b) like some individuals, and (c) like all other individuals” (p. 41). Considering the article you read for your specialization area, discuss the impact of group membership or memberships as they relate to the population you read about and your specialization area.
