ABSTRACT
In light of the growing diversity within the United States and the emergence of the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES, 1990) supervisory competencies, it is essential for supervisors to enhance their awareness and knowledge of multicultural issues in supervision. Cross-racial and cross-cultural issues have not been addressed widely within the supervisory process. The purpose of this chapter is to identify and discuss the importance of addressing cross-racial and cross-cultural issues within the supervisory triad (i.e., supervisor, supervisee, and client). Additionally, the authors will present various models and frameworks for understanding multicultural supervision, and highlight challenges as well as recommendations related to multicultural supervision competence.
