Multicultural Counselling to Women
Liberty University
PSYC 351
Lillian Comas-Diaz studied the Puerto Rican women who spent their life migrating to
find satisfaction in the environment. The influence of ethnicity, sociopolitical contexts, gender
and culture were brought out through the life experiences that Nereida and her daughter went
through to bring out what those women immigrants went through. The article also showed how
the immigrant women coped with life psychologically and how they developed their identity. The
article goes further to show how multicultural counselling worked with immigrant women.
The place of women in the society was shown through; attachment to places and identity
with a place. The development of women's identity is also shown. Women (Nereida) went for
multicultural counselling to overcome their culture shock, overcome marital problems, their
influence on powerhouses, skin color discrimination, the position of women in our society as
perceived by men and broken family relationships. When Nereida overcame all those setbacks to
women development, she began a happy life. She started enlightening her fellow Puerto Rico
ladies in the U.S.A and hose of her skin colour.
The multicultural counselling elements used were; having cultural humility(which is
caring about the culture of others), using psychological strategies such as assertiveness training,
critical consciousness dialogue, testimonies and proverbs (dichos) therapy, and generativity;
which is culture resilient referring to the practices promoting adaptive reactions to contemporary
trauma and history, and a series of values and strengths.
Conclusively, being female in society increases life burden; it is, however, easy to
conquer and live limitlessly.
