HT013 – MULTICULTURALISM AND DIVERSITY, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? IS NOT COUNSELING… COUNSELING? WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Dr. Lee is past president of the American Counseling Association and the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development.

Among other things, Rebecca Daniel-Burke asks the following questions:

What is the difference between the terms "multiculturalism" and "diversity?" Why is it so important to emphasize cultural differences in counseling? Isn't counseling…counseling? The term "cultural competency" is widely discussed in the multicultural literature. What is it and why is it important? Can counselors from one cultural group really hope to be effective with clients from another cultural group? Where do you see the discipline of multicultural counseling headed in the next decade?
