Abstract:
Multicultural competence in psychotherapy and supervision have been deemed as critical to ethical practice. This article offers two supervisory interventions, the Critical Events Model (Ladany, Friedlander, & Nelson, 2005) and the Heuristic Model of Nonoppressive Interpersonal Development (Ancis & Ladany, 2010) to highlight the use of a multiculturally competent framework in psychotherapy and supervision. By using a case vignette we elucidate the process that can ensue within both the therapeutic and supervisory setting.
