Diversity in Counseling

Catalog description

The course addresses the theories of diversity in counseling. Students examine their assumptions and biases about cultures different from their own and explore their own sense of “otherness.” Students discuss these issues with their classmates as a means for developing the ability to converse with and relate to clients with backgrounds other than their own. Student learning in this course is guided by the essential question ‘how do I, as a counselor, relate to others who are different from me?’
