Description
Summary:Results of this study identified specific areas of multicultural ethics and assessment training for counselors. Licensed Professional Counselors (N = 207) were surveyed using the Multicultural Counseling Ethics and Assessment Competency Scale (MCEACS). A majority of survey respondents reported insufficient competencies in determining client acculturation, culture of the client in assessment interpretation, and resolving multicultural ethical dilemmas. Implications are given for counselor education programs and, subsequently, rehabilitation counselor education programs because of their shared history.
