MACP 641 - Multicultural Counselling for Diverse Populations

3
This course offers students a framework to implement multicultural counselling competencies from a social justice perspective through developing necessary attitudes, knowledge, skills, and advocacy interventions when working with diverse populations. Students will critically examine the Eurocentric, patriarchal, and heteronormative ideologies commonly embedded in Counselling Psychology, and become familiarized with culturally-based counselling methods. Substantial emphasis will be placed on students’ awareness of their intersection of identities and how it shapes their own values, attitudes, beliefs, and biases, as well as how the dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression may influence the therapeutic encounter.
