Objective:
Education that promotes the development of cultural humility and culturally responsive clinical work among psychotherapists may help address health care disparities faced by underserved and minority populations. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of community engagement experiences (CEEs) and directed self-reflection in addressing this area of growth with student psychotherapists.
Methods:
The authors examined the effect of a CEE and a directed self-reflection teaching strategy on the development of cultural humility among psychotherapy students. Seven master's-level student participants engaged in a CEE in rural Honduras, providing mental health care to an underserved population in 2023.
Results:
Participant-reported experiences were synthesized into four categories: self-reflection, acclimation, service work, and personal growth.
Conclusions:
CEEs paired with directed self-reflection were a promising teaching modality in the development of cultural humility with psychotherapy students and may be helpful to other health care professionals.
