Description:
Cultural factors are present in all therapeutic relationships. Engaging the totality of individual clients by addressing their intersecting identities can promote self-affirmation and clarity about internalized oppression. The cultural competency paradigm and the Dimensions of Personal Identity model will serve as the primary reference points.
Educational Objectives:
- Illustrate the role of cultural and social identities as sources of self-efficacy and/or dilemmas
- Identify the role of historical moments and events as contextual factors influencing clients' well-being
- Describe how clients may become more empowered by recognizing the strengths found in their intersecting identities
