Cultural Responsiveness in Clinical Supervision
摘要
Culturally responsive clinical supervision in counselling is a practice that acknowledges and integrates the cultural backgrounds and identities of both the counsellor and the client into the supervisory process. This approach recognises the impact of culture on an individual’s worldview, lived experiences, communication styles, and therapeutic needs, thereby fostering a more effective and empathetic counselling practice. An essential aspect of a culturally responsive approach is recognising the power dynamics inherent in the supervisory relationship and striving to mitigate these by promoting mutual respect and collaboration. Culturally responsive supervision also includes adapting supervision techniques to meet the diverse needs of supervisees, which are demonstrated in this chapter.
