Reactions to the Multicultural Counseling Competencies Debate

Two well-known cross-cultural counselor educators present their thoughts on some of the criticisms of the AMDC Multicultural Counseling Competencies. First, they posit their agreements and disagreements with Weinrach and Thomas' (2002) points of contentions. Then, they indicate why they object to many of the components of the Competencies, which they consider to be essentially anti-therapeutic because of their focus on group stereotypes instead of the uniqueness of individual clients.
