“…Of particular relevance to initial consultations is Guideline 1: “psychologists are encouraged to recognize that, as cultural beings, they may hold attitudes and beliefs that can detrimentally influence perceptions of and interactions with individuals who are ethnically and racially different from themselves” (APA, 2003, p. 17). Hence, integrating the collection of cultural data with the collection of other data is essential to multiculturally competent assessment (McKitrick, Edwards, & Sola, 2007) and forming accurate case conceptualizations (Ridley, Hill, & Wiese, 2001).…”

The Performance Interview Guide (PInG) is a semistructured approach to initial sport and performance psychology (SPP) consultations. The PInG is designed to be person centered and strengths based with a focus on performance excellence. We emphasize building a safe, trusting, and collaborative relationship with the client, and provide an overview of information to gather when forming an initial conceptualization of the client. There are 7 components to the PInG: (a) identifying information, (b) reason for seeking consultation, (c) background of areas for improvement, growth, or concern, (d) details of sport/performance, (e) life/identity outside of sport/performance, (f) significant relationships/support, and (g) self-care. As foundations for the PInG, a philosophy of interviewing, guidance on gathering information, and pragmatic considerations such as holistic consulting (i.e., attending to the person and the performer), multiculturalism, and connecting interviewing to a theoretical orientation to performance excellence are presented.

“…MCA is relevant for every client throughout the therapeutic process (McKitrick et al, 2007; Ridley et al, 2008). As such, it is important to understand the type of training clinicians receive and how that may relate to eventual MCA practice and outcomes.…”

“…The current findings serve as a first step toward these longer term investigations. Readers with interest in MCA resources are directed toward Dana (2005), Hays (2008), McKitrick et al (2007), Ridley et al (1998), and Suzuki and Ponterotto (2008a).…”

“…MCA, similar to psychological assessment, can be considered the process of collecting, organizing, and interpreting psychological data about clients (Ridley et al, 1998). While this process may include the use of formal tests and instruments, MCA is considered to be a broader practice that includes gathering both formal and informal data during intake, diagnosis, treatment planning, the development of a working alliance, and all other interactions with the client over the course of psychotherapy (McKitrick et al, 2007; Spengler, 1998). In addition to a broad view of assessment, authors also have emphasized that culture includes more than just race and ethnicity (Ridley et al, 1998).…”

“…Additionally, ethical and practice guidelines and standards (e.g., American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association [APA], & National Council on Measurement in Education, 2014; APA, 2003, 2010) have provided suggestions for the practice of assessment with culturally diverse populations. It is clear that making accurate and comprehensive assessments of clients is the foremost goal of working with clients (McKitrick, Edwards, & Sola, 2007), and that attending to culture is related to important clinical outcomes such as client satisfaction and the counseling alliance (Burkard, Knox, Groen, Perez, & Hess, 2006; Wade & Bernstein, 1991; Zhang & Burkard, 2008). While recommendations for how to conduct MCA are numerous, little is known about how, if at all, the average clinician actually conducts MCA.…”

Despite practice guidelines and ethical standards that provide imperatives for clinicians to utilize multicultural assessment (MCA), little is known about how the average psychologist actually conducts MCA. The current mixed-method study was designed to investigate clinicians' training and use of MCA practice strategies. Participants were 239 (107 male, 131 female, 1 other gender) licensed psychologists residing in the United States and Canada who were recruited from the American Psychological Association practice directory to complete an online survey. Quantitative items on the survey included questions about the number and utility of MCA-related graduate courses and supervision experiences, and strategies and frameworks used when conducting MCA. Open-ended questions provided expansion about factors that were helpful and not helpful in graduate training experiences. Findings suggested that only 75% of participants had taken a course that included MCA-related content, but almost all of those participants found the material they learned to be helpful. Graduate courses with MCA-related content were perceived as more helpful than graduate supervision, and the most helpful aspects of courses and supervision were related to increasing knowledge and awareness about MCA. Almost 40% of the sample reported using no theory or framework for conducting MCA, and participants differed in their use of MCA strategies. Findings are discussed in relation to the training and continuing education of clinicians and future directions for research.
