This article offers initial strategies to develop a multicultural training model for graduate-level art therapy students within a learner’s cultural context, using South Korea as an example. All helping professions, including art therapy, have emphasized multicultural competence a mandated ability concerning ethical practice. However, scholarship has neglected the importance of developing multicultural education within its application’s cultural context. Accordingly, the researchers introduce the concept of multiculturalism within Korean cultural contexts, followed by a qualitative online survey exploring the meanings and experiences of multiculturalism among Korean graduate-level art therapy students and alumni in Korea (N = 44). Lastly, they outline a preliminary education model based on the collected data that frames the major components and levels of multicultural training within art therapy in South Korea. The findings direct researchers to consider developing multicultural education within Korea’s cultural context, collectivism, and socio-political conditions.

本文以韩国为例，提供了在学习者文化背景下为研究生水平的艺术疗法学生开发多元文化培训模型的初步策略。所有帮助职业，包括艺术疗法，都强调多元文化能力是与道德实践有关的强制能力。但是，奖学金忽略了在其应用的文化背景下发展多元文化教育的重要性。因此，研究人员在韩国文化背景下介绍了多元文化主义的概念，随后进行了定性的在线调查，探讨了韩国研究生水平的艺术治疗专业学生和韩国校友中多元文化主义的含义和经历（N = 44）。最后，他们根据收集的数据概述了初步的教育模型，该模型描述了韩国艺术疗法中多元文化培训的主要组成部分和水平。这些发现指导研究人员考虑在韩国的文化背景，集体主义和社会政治条件下发展多元文化教育。
