Why You'll Love This Course
The notion of multicultural counseling suggests the application of counseling techniques to populations who may not trust or be well-served by those techniques. This course uses therapy stories to demonstrate what psychotherapy can be when clients' preferred ways of healing are honored and integrated in the therapy room.
Course Description
Imagine the possibilities for people, most especially people from marginalized groups, being able to speak on behalf of their own healing. Instead of inviting people of non-European descent into Eurocentric models of healing, what if we instead invited in healing practices from our own communities? What might be possible if instead of ‘treating’ people solely through psychiatric and psychological knowledges, we co-created alternative knowledges with the people who consult us? Finally, what are the possibilities for how this practice might look in action? Autoethnographic practice stories of a Muslim man named “Madhi” facing discrimination in his community and a young black man named “Ray” entangled in the criminal justice system will be used to help take learners inside the therapy room.
1.5 Hours CE. Recorded Video Format (non-interactive). While stories are used with client permission, to protect their confidentiality, names and other identifying details have been changed.
