White Counseling Supervisees' Experiences Working with Latino Youth: A Phenomenological Study
Malott, Krista M.; Havlik, Stacey; Palacios, Lyda Holguín; Contrisciane Lewis, Colleen
Multicultural Perspectives, v16 n3 p133-140 2014
The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of White counseling students who facilitated a group intervention with Latino adolescents. A phenomenological approach revealed several challenges experienced by the counselors in working across race and culture. Two major themes that emerged from the analysis included counselors' lack of cultural knowledge and the presence of White racial bias. These experiences engendered the counselors' self-doubt regarding their abilities to work effectively across culture. Suggestions for training and supporting future professionals in work across race and ethnicity are included, with examples of supervisory responses to learner's biased statements.
