ABSTRACT
It has been our impression, albeit a generalization, that many supervision classes tend to assume that supervisors belonging to the majority culture are supervising therapists who belong to the majority culture, and they in turn are treating clients who are members of the majority culture. These classes may include a token session, often toward the end of the course, wherein the instructors discuss supervision of therapists from the majority culture who are providing clinical services to clients who are members of a minority group. We have found that occasionally there may also be a discussion of majority culture supervisors’ work with therapists who are members of a minority group. However, we have not seen a course that, from the beginning, recognizes that the training system may include any combination of majority and minority culture individuals at all levels of the training system.
