Question 1

Question 2

The _______ perspective recognizes and emphasizes culturally specific norms and considers a client's behaviors, thoughts, and feelings within the context of that client's culture.

Accepted Answer

Currently, when the American Psychological Association considers accrediting a graduate program in psychology, there are criteria related to multiculturalism that must be met.

Multiculturalism has been referred to as the "fourth force" in psychology, following psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanism.

Question 8

The ____________ places importance on multiple perspectives, including those that recognize the uniqueness of each individual as well as the similarities between each individual and other individuals.

Accepted Answer

The tripartite model of personal identity recognizes the uniqueness of each individual (self-identity), but also emphasizes the similarities between individuals and the social categories they belong to (social identity) and the universal aspects of human nature (human identity). This approach values multiple perspectives and takes a holistic view of individuals and their identities.

Question 9

Which of the following is true regarding Asian cultures?

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that members of Asian cultures tend to emphasize collectivism more strongly than individualism compared to members of European American cultures. However, it is important to note that culture is not a monolithic entity and there is diversity even within Asian cultures. Moreover, individualism and collectivism are not mutually exclusive and can coexist to some extent within individuals and cultures.

Question 10

Which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

Both options A and B are false. The current edition of the APA ethical code includes multiple references to issues of multiculturalism, and the APA has divisions devoted to issues of both gender and sexual orientation.

Question 11

The etic perspective

Accepted Answer

The etic perspective emphasizes similarities between all people, which means that it does not prioritize or focus on cultural differences. Therefore, options B and C are incorrect.

Question 12

Which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

Both options A and B are incorrect and go against the fundamental principles of cultural competence in therapy. It is essential for clinical psychologists to openly acknowledge cultural differences with their clients and take steps to understand their clients' cultural backgrounds and how it may impact their mental health. It is also not acceptable to begin treatment with no knowledge of a client's culture and require them to explain everything to the psychologist. This can create a power imbalance and hinder the therapeutic relationship.

Question 14

Which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

While there are various methods for training clinical psychologists to be culturally competent, no single "best method" has been identified as the most effective. Different approaches may be more or less effective depending on the individual and the particular cultural context involved.

Question 15

___________, a common aspect of traditional psychotherapy, may be inconsistent with the cultural values and life experiences of some cultural groups.

Accepted Answer

Verbal self-disclosure, a 50-minute session in an office building, and long-term, insight-oriented treatment approaches are all aspects of traditional psychotherapy that may not align with the cultural values and life experiences of some cultural groups. For example, in some cultures, discussing personal problems openly may be viewed as inappropriate or disrespectful, while spending 50 minutes in a formal setting may seem unnecessary or uncomfortable. Additionally, some cultures may place a greater emphasis on addressing immediate concerns rather than exploring deeper, long-standing issues. Therefore, it is important for therapists to be aware of and sensitive to cultural differences when providing treatment.

Developing cultural competence requires self-reflection and awareness of one's own cultural identity. Understanding one's own biases and assumptions is key to being able to provide culturally responsive care.

Question 19

According to Sue and Sue (2003, p. 21), "___________ is defined as the counselor's acquisition of awareness, knowledge, and skills needed to function effectively in a pluralistic democratic society."

Accepted Answer

The definition provided in the statement aligns with the concept of multicultural counseling competence, which is the ability of a counselor to work effectively with clients from diverse backgrounds. It involves being aware of one's own cultural biases, gaining knowledge about different cultures and their values, and developing skills to adapt counseling approaches to meet the unique needs of each client.
