The Multicultural Psychology course has been designed to engage students in learning about the psychological foundations
of the influences and effects of culture and society on individuals and groups, and their interactions. Students will learn
about culture and society’s potential impacts on the experience and management of similarity and difference in the
therapeutic relationship, in clinical assessment, in research practices, in everyday life, and on the interpretation of empirical
data. The course consists of an academic and an experiential component in order to provide exposure to the knowledge
and self- and other- awareness that facilitates multicultural competence. Students will learn to place in psychological context
American and cross-cultural experience, multiculturalism and diversity, and individual differences within and amongst
people.
