Case Study

A young Asian client saw herself as homely and unlikable. Terry James, PH.D., explained how he was only trying to boost her self-esteem when he told her she had beautiful eyes and how he could imagine her having a close relationship with a white man like him, even though it could not be him as much as he would like that. His attempts to exonerate himself on the grounds that he went overboard trying to convince the client that she was attractive was not persuasive to a licensing board.

Dr. James may have meant well in his own mind; however, his actions illustrate insensitivities and cultural bias. He focused on the physical attributes of the client and clearly asserted white privilege with an implication that attraction to people of Asian ancestry alters a client's self-perception without first attempting to understand the basis for the feeling.
