Abstract

ABSTRACT: This commentary underscores efforts of this special issue to highlight concepts related to culture and cultural competence designed to broaden thinking about multicultural consultation through research, practice, and training. It does this by illustrating the insights presented regarding (a) cultural issues in training, (b) the effect of client-centered consultation procedures on supervision of multicultural cognitive behavior therapy, (c) interactions between social capital and cultural variables, and (d) the importance of culturally sensitive research models. Further, this commentary proposes the participatory culture-specific intervention model and organizational consultation as two frameworks that can be used to enhance cultural competence and multicultural consultation in ways that are consistent with the ideas presented in this special issue.
