ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
This presentation will address how to identify and address cultural and other biases that impinge upon a therapeutic
setting. It will address the covert nature of the biases and subtle forms of aggression that persons from minority
groups experience. There will be an experiential aspect to this training that will help participants identify and address
personal biases that can affect the therapeutic process. There will be discussion of various experiences of
prejudgment. The presentation will explore ways to engage in a corrective process.
At the conclusion of the presentation, attendees will be able to:
- Articulate their understanding of the detrimental impact of prejudgment;
- Describe the ways in which biases can undermine the therapeutic experience for members of a minority group;
- Identify and engage in a critical analysis of their own personal biases;
- Propose ways of improving their self-monitoring skills in this regard and engaging in corrective action as necessary.
