In understanding a client, a skilled clinician must __________.
  1. Have sensitivity and understanding of client’s values and belief system
  2. Visit the client’s country if different from their own
  3. Be from the same culture
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - In addition to understanding the client’s cultural history, having sensitivity toward the client’s values and beliefs is an essential trait of a multicultural counselor. Being of the same culture is ideal, but trained counselors are not always available from a particular culture. Also, goodness of fit with a counselor may not be an issue if the client and counselor are from a different culture, as long as the counselor has good skills as a multicultural clinician.
