This course in rehabilitation counseling provides theoretical and practical (clinical) instruction in multicultural and ethical aspects of rehabilitation counseling. Topics include the historical perspectives of multiculturalism and cultural diversity in society, theories and models of identity development among diverse groups, supervisory issues, practical strategies and a review of current research. Ethical issues regarding counseling and direct rehabilitation service delivery are discussed from both a generic and multi-cultural perspective centered upon research-based concepts, specific skills and strategies. Direct role-playing and skill building exercises are employed along with case study methods and lectures. Students are encouraged to develop an awareness of different cultures, learned biases and how they may affect the counseling relationship. Other topics include independence versus interdependence, and specific strategies in rehabilitation counseling. The purpose of this course is to provide students with knowledge and skill that will maximize access and effectiveness in serving underrepresented and culturally diverse populations, and to develop effective outreach strategies.
