PSY6119 - Intercultural Processes/Human Diversity A

(3 units)
An experiential course designed to provide insight into the role of personal and sociocultural factors in the work of professional psychologists. The primary goals are (1) to develop self-awareness and a heightened sensitivity to one’s own values, biases and multicultural identities and, (2) to understand how these can serve as resources and/or barriers to the therapeutic process, impacting both the nature and course of psychotherapy with culturally diverse populations. Issues of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation are emphasized with attention given to disability, social class, religion and age. The process and self-exploration is facilitated through the maintenance of a personal journal, self-assessments, experiential exercises and class discussions.
