Presenter(s)/Author(s):
George Vincent Gushue, PhD; Tina R. Lee; and Jung Fun Kim
Description:
Racial triangulation and shifting standards in mental health assessments (Gushue, Lee, & Kim, 2021) use the shifting standards paradigm and the racial triangulation framework to investigate the presence of racial bias in mental health assessments that White mental health trainees and practitioners apply to Black and Asian clients. This Continuing Professional Development resource provides counselors with a rationale to explain the shifting paradigm and the racial triangulation framework, understand the contexts an instance in which racial biases potentially shape the clinical judgments of White examiners in their mental health assessments, and describe the implications for multicultural competence in counseling training, research, and practice.
Learning Objectives:
1.Explain the shifting standards paradigm and the racial triangulation framework,
2.Understand the contexts and instances in which racial biases potentially shape the clinical judgment of White examiners in their mental health assessments,
3.Describe the implications for multicultural competence in counseling training, research, and practice.
