Recognizing Our Cultural Biases as Counsellor Supervisors: A Reflective Learning Approach
Brinson, Jesse A.
Guidance & Counselling, v19 n2 p81-91 Win 2004
This article encourages supervisors, in general, and counsellor supervisors, in particular, to engage in reflective learning as a way to identify their cultural biases. Awareness of counsellor bias has been addressed by ethical standards outlined for professional helpers. This article presents reflective learning as a potentially useful strategy to help identify aspects of our development that may have contributed to cultural insensitivity. Case studies are described as examples when using the reflective learning approach. The article concludes with proactive steps that supervisors can take to minimize or change culturally biased attitudes and beliefs.
