Using an Intersectional Paradigm in Teaching, Research, and Practice*
This session discusses the paradigm of intersectionality-how different social
identities, such as race, gender, and sexual orientation, influence each other. We
explore strategies for integrating this perspective into teaching, research, and
counseling on race and racial identity. Strengths, challenges, and questions in
utilizing an intersectional perspective are discussed.

A Critical Exploration of Cross-Cultural Miscommunication
The workshop will create a scenario in which two different cultural groups
interact. After completing the role play, participants will address the following:
(1) Describe each group, from the perspective of a group member and the
perspective of someone from the other group. How do their views of the “other”
differ from their descriptions of themselves. (2) What characteristics did your
observations focus upon? What did you not mention? What impact might that
have had on your interactions? (3) How would you characterize the nature of your
interactions? How did you feel after the role play ended? (4) Based on these
responses, what might be some implications for promoting positive interactions
among differing cultural groups?

Understanding and Addressing White Students’ Resistance to Exploring
Racism
One of the most challenging aspects of educating about racism is the resistance
from White people. Developing a deeper understanding of why people may be
defensive allows for both greater compassion and the development of strategies to
overcome the resistance. Resistance is an expression of fear and discomfort with
psychological and sociopolitical roots. Psychological factors include the protection
of self-worth, cognitive dissonance, fears about change, and focus on their own
pain. Sociopolitical factors include societal structures, values, and norms that
promote the belief in meritocracy, competitive individualism, blaming the victim,
and White supremacy. Strategies for preventing and reducing resistance are
suggested within three main approaches: building relationships and safety;
affirming, validating, and conveying respect for students; and utilizing the
students’ frame of reference.

Motivational Interviewing to Facilitate Student Clinician’s Change in
Multicultural Courses*
Multicultural courses for student clinicians can be the most challenging of
graduate courses to teach in a training program as they balance intellectual issues
with emotional processing. Students often begin this course with significant
apprehension and resistance to multicultural training and may minimize course
material and instructor expertise. Handling difficult class multicultural dialogues
and student resistance requires advanced teaching and clinical skills. In this
dynamic workshop, participants will learn how a motivational interviewing (MI)
style can facilitate self-exploration and change in graduate clinical students. MI
seems to work best for those who are resistant to change. Given multicultural
topics can raise resistance in students, MI seems a good fit as students broaden
worldviews and attitudes necessary in achieving cultural competence.

Planting the Seeds, Reaping the Harvest: Dialogues on Racial Healing
While most college campuses embrace racial diversity as an important goal,
achieving this goal is particularly challenging at predominantly White residential
Catholic colleges. The majority population is often unaware of the pervasiveness
of the dominant White culture, and even less aware of its impact on students of
Color. People are often willing to address overt forms of racism such as hate
speech or racist graffiti; however, there is often resistance when it comes to
acknowledging more subtle forms of racism. This process is challenging as we
seek to understand how our personal histories may have informed our views on
race, but when people make the commitment to seek this understanding, the results
can transform the campus climate.

Live Supervision: A Multicultural, Relational Psychoanalytic Approach*
Supervision is one of the primary and perhaps most critical relationships in which
a therapist in training gains guidance in addressing racial and cultural concerns.
Multicultural, relational psychoanalytic supervision acknowledges and addresses
sociocultural forces that affect the therapeutic dyad, as well as the therapeutic
dyad. Live supervision, in which a multicultural, psychoanalytic psychologist
provides supervision to a trainee presenting a case in which diversity issues are
salient, serves to demonstrate how psychoanalytic psychology addresses the
complexities of diversity in treatment. The objective is to provide an
understanding of the value of a psychoanalytic approach in addressing the
complexities—racial, cultural, and social—of a therapy case in which the client
and/or therapist may not be representative of the dominant majority culture.
