After reading the interview with Dr. Derald Wing Sue about Multicultural Competence in Counseling, please share 2-3 concepts from that interview that were new insights or novel ideas that you hadn’t considered much before watching. Please elaborate on some reasons for why awareness and skill in multicultural counseling is vital within the field.
Also, in Ch. 2, your textbook describes the concept of “bracketing,” which is the management of the counselor’s personal values so that they do not “contaminate” the counseling process. Should counselors use bracketing as one method of providing culturally sensitive treatment? How so?
