This paper provides a response to Ridley et al.’s Major Contribution on the state of multicultural counseling competence (MCC) and their proposed refinement and extension of this construct. They pose the following multiprong question: “Is multicultural counseling competence becoming outdated and supplanted, or is it underdeveloped and in need of refinement?” We use this question to examine the MCC model that Ridley et al. have proposed in this Major Contribution. We summarize and critique each paper, and close with our own conclusions about the above question. We are concerned that the characteristics of the clinicians seem to be secondary to MCC. We also question the lack of focus on the sociopolitical context and the limited inclusion of diverse scholarship in creating a universal MCC model.

本文提供了对Ridley等人对多元文化咨询能力（MCC）的状态所做的重大贡献以及他们对该结构提出的改进和扩展的回应。他们提出了以下多方面的问题：“多元文化咨询能力是已经过时和被取代，还是发展不完善，需要完善？” 我们使用这个问题来检验Ridley等人的MCC模型。已在本重大贡献中提出。我们对每篇论文进行总结和评论，并就上述问题总结自己的结论。我们担心临床医生的特征似乎是MCC的次要特征。我们还质疑在建立通用的MCC模型时缺乏对社会政治背景的关注以及对各种奖学金的限制。
