“…Overall, our results supported the use of an online program incorporated in the curriculum for increasing students’ cultural competence. Specifically, participants in the intervention group were more likely to report increased knowledge of socio-cultural characteristics, health disparities, and health risks experienced by particular racial and ethnic groups, as well as of alternative healing traditions and methods [ 54 ]. The effect of the intervention in increasing participants’ ability to translate this knowledge into their daily practice (skills) approached significance.…”

Background Racial and ethnic minorities suffer significantly more than others in the wake of disasters. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of culturally competent health services, systematic cultural competence training in the medical education system is still scarce, especially in the field of emergency. The current study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an online culturally informed intervention for increasing cultural competence in emergencies among nursing students. Methods A randomized controlled trial was used to test the intervention effectiveness in increasing nursing students’ cultural competence in four domains: attitudes, knowledge, skills, and encounters. The study included 72 undergraduate nursing students recruited from two academic institutes. Participants were randomized (1:1 ratio) to an intervention (n = 34) and control group (n = 38). The study adheres to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). Data analysis was based on multivariate analysis of variance with repeated measures, followed by post hoc analyses with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Results Results showed that the intervention was effective in increasing the participants’ culturally competent knowledge. The effect of the intervention on the skills domain approached significance. No group differences were identified in the attitudes and the encounters domains. Conclusions An online culturally informed intervention, incorporated in the curriculum, was effective in enhancing the cognitive aspect of cultural competence (especially at the basic knowledge and understanding levels), but not other domains. Our results encourage the development of future intervention programs that are based on a deep understanding of local values, needs, and preferences.

“…(Falender et al, 2021, p. 188) La supervisión, reconocida con razón como la pedagogía distintiva de las profesiones de salud mental (Watkins, 2020), puede ser el factor contribuyente más poderoso al desarrollo de competencias de terapeutas interdisciplinarios y la excelencia de la práctica en todo el mundo (por ejemplo, Gonsalvez y Milne, 2010;Rousmaniere et al, 2017). Siendo ese el caso, la supervisión también puede verse como un foro principal con inmensas posibilidades para avanzar en la comprensión y práctica multicultural / de justicia social de los supervisados (Tummala-Narra, 2023;Watkins, 2023).…”

“…Así como todos los encuentros terapéuticos son de naturaleza eminentemente multicultural, también lo es el caso de la supervisión de la psicoterapia (Chopra, 2013). Tanto la situación terapéutica como la de supervisión parecen estar en un lugar donde se reconoce que lo siguiente es cada vez más, tanto que: (a) lo que es cultural, o multicultural, se define de manera cada vez más amplia, para incluir no solo la raza/etnia y el género, y también la orientación sexual, la identidad de género, el estado de capacidad, la edad, el nivel socioeconómico y la clase social, religión/espiritualidad y nacionalidad (Ancis y Ladany, 2010); (b) la visión de que los individuos comparten identidades múltiples e interseccionales (por ejemplo, ser birraciales, cisgénero y homosexuales) ahora es parte de nuestro canon terapéutico / supervisión existente de conceptualización y conducta (e.g., Grzanka, 2020; Tarshis y Baird, 2021); y (c) la convicción, «la cultura está siempre en la habitación», se ve ahora como una realidad omnipresente de tratamiento/supervisión más fácilmente que nunca antes (e.g., Soto et al, 2019;Tummala-Narra, 2023;Watkins et al, 2019aWatkins et al, , 2019b. Pero para que todo eso importe y se integre significativamente en el proceso de supervisión de la psicoterapia, «... corresponde al supervisor abrir el diálogo sobre la cultura ...» (Bandstra et al, 2019, p. 294).…”

¿Cómo nosotros, como supervisores de psicoterapia, integramos de manera más efectiva una postura culturalmente humilde en la experiencia de supervisión? Se necesitan ejemplos concretos de cómo abordar mejor esa integración. A continuación, proporciono un ejemplo de ello, la incorporación de pautas de humildad cultural en el acuerdo de supervisión y la relación de supervisión desde su inicio. Esta incorporación de pautas tiene tres propósitos: (a) poner en primer plano la humildad cultural en mi práctica como supervisor, haciendo un compromiso y una promesa a mis supervisados de que yo, como su supervisor, siempre me esforzaré por abordar nuestro trabajo desde una postura culturalmente humilde; b) introducir y orientar a los supervisados y prepararlos mejor para la incorporación de la humildad cultural en su propia práctica terapéutica; y c) idealmente galvanizar y profundizar la constante evolución de su sentido de humildad cultural a medida que avanza esa práctica. Se define la humildad cultural y se propone un conjunto de pautas de humildad cultural centradas en el supervisor y adaptadas a la supervisión. Esta perspectiva se presenta con la esperanza de generar una mayor discusión sobre la integración de la humildad cultural en la relación de supervisión de la psicoterapia y animar y vigorizar su práctica.

The Zero Tolerance policy implemented by the Trump administration resulted in the separation of thousands of Central American families seeking asylum at the U.S. Southern border. This policy has had a devastating impact on the mental health of parents and their children. While most of the literature on forced immigration family separation, and reunification focuses on children’s traumatic responses, it is essential to expand the literature to include the impact on parents, who can help mitigate the negative consequences of adverse events and traumatic stress on their children. When parents are not provided with adequate culturally sensitive healing interventions, their distress, and emotional needs may affect their ability to effectively support their children. Using a self psychology lens, this theoretical article sheds light on the psychological experiences of Central American parents who endured forced family separation. It also contributes knowledge to self psychology theory and its integration into group work with Central Americans. This article draws from the literature, my clinical experience with immigrants and refugees, and my work with Central American asylum-seeking families impacted by the “zero tolerance” immigration policy to argue that self psychology provides a lens for understanding the impact of the government’s empathic failure on parents upon entering the United States that led to a blow to parents’ cohesive self. Parents’ cohesive self can be restored with sufficient collective twinship, mirroring, and idealizing experiences, which in self-psychology are paramount psychological needs to be met for building and maintaining a strong self.
