Abstract Graduate faculty and students challenged with the growing complexity of working effectively in a therapeutic context with African American women are discussed in this article. Although measures of the effective depth and breadth of diversity training in graduate programs exist, this article discusses how multicultural training affects faculty, students, and systems. The relational aspects of clinical interventions with African American women who both share and diverge from the ethnic, racial, and gender identity of the therapist and supervisor will challenge this encounter. This article focuses on training, supervision, and systemic issues using a case example of working through these issues. The therapist’s training or lack thereof in working with African American women begins to express itself in the first encounter during the intake interview. It is crucial during this initial stage that the therapist and supervisor explore their knowledge and experience with diversity and feminist perspectives so that clients’ needs can be acknowledged and understood by all members of the triad, in order to build the therapeutic alliance.

与非裔美国妇女一起工作的从业者的培训和监督需求

摘要 本文讨论了在治疗环境中与非裔美国女性有效合作日益复杂的研究生教职员工和学生。尽管存在衡量研究生课程多样性培训有效深度和广度的措施，但本文讨论了多元文化培训如何影响教师、学生和系统。与治疗师和主管的种族、种族和性别认同相同和不同的非裔美国女性的临床干预的相关方面将挑战这种遭遇。本文使用一个解决这些问题的案例，重点讨论培训、监督和系统性问题。治疗师在与非裔美国女性合作方面的培训或缺乏开始在入学面试期间的第一次见面中表现出来。在这个初始阶段，治疗师和主管从多样性和女权主义观点探索他们的知识和经验至关重要，以便三合会的所有成员都能承认和理解客户的需求，从而建立治疗联盟。
