ABSTRACT

Differences among people along the dimensions of ethnicity, culture, gender, faith, sexuality, age and disability have provided a context for discrimination in favour of the dominant group throughout our cultural history. Ethical practice under the principle of justice requires that an equitable approach be made to different groups whether these involve clients and/or supervisees. The dominant group is often in the majority but this is not necessarily the norm as, for example, in the case of South Africa under apartheid.
