Anti-Racism in Clinical Supervision: Considerations for Practice and Research

There is an increasing appreciation of the impact of racism on both the process and outcome of counseling and psychotherapy. Findings suggest that racism can negatively influence the utilization of services, the therapy relationship, the nature and efficacy of clinical interventions and overall treatment outcomes. Furthermore, some scholars have argued that accepted models of counseling and psychotherapy can be seen as forms of cultural imposition which are grounded in a Western/Eurocentric worldview, and therefore should be understood as a form of scientific racism. As such, the current webinar will highlight these critiques, will review findings associated with the impact of racism on psychotherapy practice, and will provide some suggestions for the role Clinical Supervision can play as a force of anti-racism in both research and practice.
Registered CSRC members will receive Zoom information prior to the start of the event.
