What is multicultural competence

Reference no: EM1352808

There is disagreement in the field about how "multicultural competence" should be defined. Some of its components have been argued to include: culture-specific skills and knowledge; awareness of own culture and how that differs from that of the client; awareness of own biases and prejudices and how that impacts upon assessment and therapy; the knowledge and use of culturally appropriate intervention methods; and so on. A large part of the debate rests on the need to respect cultural diversity and to take a non-pathologizing approach to differences. Do you agree with these? Would you include anything else to these competencies?
