The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a training program designed to enhance the multicultural competence of practicing rehabilitation counselors in the areas of ethical and assessment issues. To assess these areas, the Multicultural Counseling Ethics and Assessment Competency Scale (MCEACS) was developed as a part of the study. The MCEACS in its final form was a 17-item scale that demonstrated high internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of .92. Furthermore, it demonstrated a moderate relationship with the Multicultural Awareness, Knowledge, and Skills Survey (MAKSS) and was sensitive to counselor change as a pre- and post-test measure. Results of the evaluation of the multicultural training program indicated consistent positive changes from pre- to post-tests. It is evident that even a brief training can have a measurable effect on rehabilitation counselors' multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills.

The five articles comprising the Major Contribution in this issue are synthesized and serve as the foundation of an ecological model for contextualizing multicultural counseling psychology processes. Specifically, the proposed contextual model outlines the recursive influence of individual and systemic factors on multiple subsystems (i.e., macrosystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and microsystem) influencing human behavior. Implications for multicultural training practices that are grounded in the contextual model as well as recent multicultural counseling literature are provided.

Two Factors

This article is an update and review of institutional research productivity in counseling psychology. Institutional research productivity is assessed by totaling credits for articles published from 1993 to 2002 in the following journals: Journal of Counseling Psychology, The Counseling Psychologist, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Journal of Vocational Behavior, Journal of Counseling and Development, Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development , and Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology . Results show that the rankings of many programs have remained fairly stable over the years, while others have substantially changed. Additionally, two factors were found to represent the research productivity of institutions in the field. These results are discussed in terms of the identity of counseling psychology and research productivity.

Scientist Practitioner Model

The Multicultural Program Development Pyramid is a five-tiered framework outlining stages of multicultural counseling training (MCT) program development. The pyramid is intended to serve as a guide to help program developers formulate their own unique MCT programs. The pyramid lays out a path of critical choice points in MCT development, beginning with the generation of an explicit philosophy of training and proceeding through the stages of identifying training objectives, selecting instructional strategies, choosing from among several proposed program designs, and evaluating the program. Use of the pyramid encourages the critical examination of a full range of choices at each stage. Implications of the pyramid for current MCT, the scientist-practitioner model, and the future of MCT research and development are discussed.

And Training

Researchers primarily have studied multicultural counseling (MC) in the context of the United States. Research is scarce regarding other countries. This paper presents a twofold exploratory study to examine the multicultural competencies that counselors need to assist the emerging diverse population in South Korea. We first generated seven competency indicators from a thorough literature review. In the second stage of the study, the seven indicators were used to develop a scale to measure MC competence specific to South Korea. Statistical analyses indicated that the seven items are a useful tool to measure counselors’ self-perceived competence to help diverse clients in South Korea. Additionally, our results indicated that counselors who received multicultural training expressed higher competence than those who have not. Implications for future research, practice, and training are discussed.

Personal Reflections

This article presents an integrative reaction to the lead contributions by Kiselica, Lark and Paul, and Rooney, Flores, and Mercier. Following the narrative path set by these contributors, the author begins with some personal reflections regarding his own multicultural development. A theme analysis of the lead contributions, along with the author's own experiences, leads to the delineation of 31 characteristics of effective multicultural training organized in three sections: characteristics of effective trainers and mentors, characteristics of promising trainees, and characteristics of facilitative training environments. The second half of this article presents both a general and specific research agenda for multicultural counseling training in the coming decade. Building from the identified themes, research recommendations are presented in five areas: racial identity development, multicultural competency assessment, mentoring, model programs, and the role of program diversity in training effectiveness. The article closes with a general discussion of the current and evolving status of multicultural counseling research. Embedded in the proposed research agenda is a strong call for qualitative research methods.
