NCE / CPCE Counselor

Category - Human Growth and Development

The goal of cognitive therapy is not greater self-awareness, but greater ability to think clearly and cope with life challenges. Would this be a good fit for multicultural counseling?
  1. No, because everyone wants to be more self-aware.
  2. Yes, because sharing thoughts is more comfortable than sharing emotions
  3. No. Research has shown cognitive therapy to work only in western populations
  4. Yes. Cognitive therapy can help everyone.
Explanation
Answer: B - In many cultures, sharing thoughts is more comfortable than sharing emotions and cognitive therapy focuses on learning to think clearly and cope with life challenges. Because the cognitive therapy approach is respectful, addresses present concerns, and does not require disclosure of emotions and experiences that may be very personal, it is likely to appeal to people form a wide variety of cultural backgrounds.
