The United States is becoming a more racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse nation. More specifically, in public schools, students of color and those of Native American ancestry are anticipated to represent the majority of the student population in the near future. In contrast to the change in student demographics, the majority of classroom teachers remain White and monolingual. The differences in racial, ethnic, and linguistic experiences of the student and teacher populations could create cultural conflicts between the two groups. In response, this endeavor is purposed to provide an instructional framework for teacher educators who are tasked with preparing culturally competent teachers for increasingly multicultural classrooms.

This study examines racial/ethnic disparities of dental service utilization for foreign-born and U.S.-born dentate residents aged 50 years and older. Generalized linear mixed-effects models (GLMM) were used to perform longitudinal analyses of five-wave data of dental service utilization from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). We used stratified analyses for the foreign-born and U.S.-born and assessed the nonlinear trend in rates of dental service utilization for different racial/ethnic groups. Findings indicate that Whites had higher rates of service utilization than Blacks and Hispanics regardless of birthplace. For all groups, the rates of service utilization decreased around age 80, and the rates of decline for Whites were slower than others. The U.S.-born showed the trend of higher rates of service utilization than the foreign-born for all racial/ethnic groups. These findings suggest the importance of developing culturally competent programs to meet the dental needs of the increasingly diverse populations in the United States.

Social workers either treat or refer clients to psychotherapies that reflect dominant societal beliefs with neoliberal underpinnings. Despite efforts to adapt treatments to different racial, ethnic and socio-economic groups, deeply embedded values of individuality and resilience remain in most mainstream psychotherapies. While the field is broad, encompassing hundreds of different therapies with various goals, deliveries and indicators of change, most modern treatments draw upon such ideas. Neoliberal values of free choice, creativity, self-expression and permission for people to shape themselves confer many benefits, but they also limit the conception and delivery of interventions, and contribute to inequality in service usage and outcomes. By critically analysing neoliberal cultural ideas of resiliency and individualism, and how they embed themselves in psychotherapeutic theories and practice, social workers may be able to create treatments that are more culturally competent and palatable to underserved populations and those suffering from the effects of structural inequities.

Chapter 3 discusses how those needing psychological rehabilitation come from diverse backgrounds, how sensitivity to diversity issues is a critical element addressed in the APA Ethics Code, as well as in the Multicultural Guidelines promulgated by the APA, and how 'disability' has come to be viewed as another type of diversity. It also covers how the RP must be aware of these differences and their impact on the treatment process. Also discussed is how the specialty as a whole has embraced the concept of multicultural competence, and how the individual-environment interaction is an essential aspect of understanding disability, encompassing cultural, racial, ethnic, and other such factors. Lastly, it suggests the importance of recognizing one’s own biases as well as those of the patient and family, the treatment team and the societal environment, all of which are essential aspects of culturally competent rehabilitation psychology services.
