Description

This chapter provides a review of the literature on multicultural curriculum development, including the ethics of intersection and culturally responsive practices. We argue that the integration of the fourth (multicultural) and fifth (social justice) forces in mental health must be the epicenter of our training paradigms. Despite our best efforts to ensure that training programs continue to evolve to solidify an academic environment that reflects the environmental and contextual changes in society, many programs are unable to mirror their educational efforts with the ever-evolving demographic changes. As we continue to situate our training programs and students in ways that reflect the needs of ethnocultural communities, our desire to separate the personal from the political will no longer be an acceptable approach to training. The continued challenges in bridging much needed gaps in these areas are further discussed in this chapter and specific training models are presented.
