Abstract

Abstract : The purpose of this study was to investigate longitudinal changes in master's‐level counselor trainees' ( N = 78) self‐perceptions of their multicultural counseling competence over the course of their counseling program. Multilevel modeling results indicated an increase in scores across 3 time points. The authors discuss study limitations and how counselors and counselor educators can incorporate the study's findings into their practice and into the education and supervision of counselor trainees.
