The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to provide an updated overview of the cultural competency−training experiences of psychologists. The majority of the research on this topic was over 20 years old, and given the shifts that have occurred in the field and the advent of the American Psychological Association’s multicultural guidelines, a more contemporary understanding of the training experiences of psychologists was needed. In Study 1 (N = 9), qualitative interviews were conducted with psychologists, who shared information about their cultural competency−training experiences. Based on the results from Study 1, a survey was created for Study 2 and completed by 142 psychologists. The majority of participants reported that their cultural competency graduate training included a course in diversity (85%), supervised clinical experience with diverse populations (83%), and didactic training about cultural competency (82%); the majority of participants (76%) also reported that exploring personal biases had constituted part of their training. To a lesser degree, participants reported that their training included experiential activities (67%) and cultural immersion (38%). Findings from this study revealed that psychologists are highly satisfied with the training they received and that clinical supervision predicted satisfaction. Per the results, the ideal training should include a graduate school course in diversity, supervised clinical experience with diverse populations, additional didactic training, experiential activities, and possibly cultural immersion. Supervision was noted to play a key role in psychologists’ development as culturally competent practitioners.

培训具有文化能力的心理学家：我们在哪里，我们需要去哪里？

这项混合方法研究的目的是提供心理学家文化能力培训经验的最新概述。大多数关于该主题的研究已有 20 多年的历史，鉴于该领域发生的变化以及美国心理学会多元文化指南的出现，需要对心理学家的培训经历进行更现代的理解。在研究 1 (N = 9) 中，与心理学家进行了定性访谈，他们分享了有关他们的文化能力——培训经历的信息。根据研究 1 的结果，为研究 2 创建了一项调查，由 142 名心理学家完成。大多数参与者报告说，他们的文化能力研究生培训包括多元化课程（85%），监督不同人群的临床经验 (83%)，以及关于文化能力的教学培训 (82%)；大多数参与者 (76%) 还报告说，探索个人偏见是他们培训的一部分。在较小程度上，参与者报告说他们的培训包括体验活动 (67%) 和文化沉浸 (38%)。这项研究的结果表明，心理学家对他们接受的培训非常满意，临床监督预测了满意度。根据结果​​，理想的培训应包括多元化的研究生课程、针对不同人群的监督临床经验、额外的教学培训、体验式活动，以及可能的文化沉浸。
