“…Since Sue et al (1982, 1992) first outlined and proposed a definition for the components of cross-cultural counseling competency, there has been a rapidly growing focus on increasing the cultural competency of counselors and therapists (e.g., Pieterse et al, 2009; Vandiver et al, 2021). However, increasing one’s cultural competency may be an aspect of training that is especially difficult to learn compared to the other foundational counseling skills—and one’s intent to learn alone does not guarantee competency will be achieved (e.g., Milan & Bridges, 2019; Vandiver et al, 2021). Within a racially heterogeneous sample, Zhang and McCoy (2008) found that although therapists endorse the value of multiculturally informed counseling interventions, such as bringing up racial differences with their clients, a smaller percentage of them actually follow through with these interventions.…”

In this study, we examined (a) whether ethnocultural empathy mediated the association between concerns about counseling a racial minority client and multicultural intervention self-efficacy, (b) whether insight moderated the association between concerns about counseling a racial minority client and ethnocultural empathy, and (c) whether insight moderated the above mediation (indirect) effect after controlling for multicultural social desirability within a sample of racially heterogeneous trainees. A total of 130 graduate students from Master's-and Ph.D.-level counseling psychology and counseling-related programs across the U.S. participated in an online survey. Results from PROCESS supported the hypotheses. Ethnocultural empathy partially mediated the relationship between concerns about counseling a racial minority client and multicultural intervention self-efficacy. Insight was a significant moderator of the association between concerns about counseling a racial minority client and ethnocultural empathy. Specifically, the negative association between concerns about counseling a racial minority client and ethnocultural empathy was significant for those with lower insight, but not significant for those with higher insight. The index of the moderated mediation was significant, which implied that insight moderated the mediation (indirect) effect of concerns about seeing a racial minority client on multicultural intervention self-efficacy through ethnocultural empathy. Multicultural social desirability was controlled for in regards to the above results. Public Significance StatementTrainees with higher concerns about seeing a racial minority client are likely to have greater difficulty understanding their client, which is then associated with lower multicultural counseling self-efficacy. This phenomenon is especially salient for trainees with lower insight. Clinical instructors should tailor interventions to increase trainees' levels of insight as well as their ability to understand those who are racially different from them.

“…The point is not about whether the trainees have become therapeutically effective, but whether they report feeling more confident in delivering counseling (Larson & Daniels, 1998; Mullen et al 2015). Although counseling trainees are probably concerned about the training content and process of these skills, these concerns may not be equivalent to the continued discomfort instructors and students voice about developing MCC, from knowledge to skills (Milan & Bridges, 2019; Tomlinson-Clarke, 2000).…”

This paper provides a response to Ridley et al.’s Major Contribution on the state of multicultural counseling competence (MCC) and their proposed refinement and extension of this construct. They pose the following multiprong question: “Is multicultural counseling competence becoming outdated and supplanted, or is it underdeveloped and in need of refinement?” We use this question to examine the MCC model that Ridley et al. have proposed in this Major Contribution. We summarize and critique each paper, and close with our own conclusions about the above question. We are concerned that the characteristics of the clinicians seem to be secondary to MCC. We also question the lack of focus on the sociopolitical context and the limited inclusion of diverse scholarship in creating a universal MCC model.
