Description

This course explores culture, oppression, and privilege and their effects on psychological development, conceptualization of health and pathology, and applications in clinical psychology. The course aims to develop the reflexive awareness and conceptual knowledge that are the foundations of liberatory practice (research, intervention/therapy, education, leadership) for clinical psychologists. Content examines personal, interpersonal, social, and structural meanings and experiences of multiple systemic variables such as race, ethnicity, culture, sexuality, gender, social class and disability. The course has a relative focus on the meanings and processes related to race and ethnicity in the United States to model a process of exploration in depth. Content includes the discipline¿s generalized knowledge about different racial/ethnic groups with critical consideration of the complexities of in-group heterogeneity, intersectionality, and diverse sociohistorical experiences of racialization, culture, and diaspora.¿
