, CHAPTER 1
The Counselor: Becoming a
Culturally Responsive Counselor
1. What is the reason that professional counselors need to apply a multicultural counseling approach in
practice?
a. Because it is good to have a one-size-fits-all approach in counseling
b. Because everyone in the United States exhibits a Eurocentric mentality
*c. Because the United States population is diverse and has continued to evolve and it is best to
honor each person’s cultural belief systems
d. All of the above
Answer: c. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the United States is much more diverse than it has
ever measured in the past. The minority race and ethnic groups are continuing to grow and therefore,
it is important for counselors to be culturally responsive in attending to the person’s belief system.
2. What is the definition of cultural tunnel vision?
a. It is when you drive through a tunnel underwater
b. This is what happens when a counselor considers the client’s cultural identity
c. When a counselor and the client’s cultural belief system align with one another
*d. A perception of reality that is based on a limited set of cultural experiences
Answer: d. Cultural tunnel vision is when a counselor functions from a set of limited experiences that
can hinder the therapeutic process and potentially cause harm to the client. For example, a counselor
might assume that all cultures are basically the same.
3. True or False: Cultural encapsulation is the lack of knowledge of another cultural background.
Answer: True: Cultural encapsulation is the act of ignoring and avowing other cultural beliefs, prac-
tices, and traditions. The opposite of cultural encapsulation is having awareness of pluralistic culture
to acknowledge and honor the complexity of a person’s cultural background.
4. What is color blindness in counseling?
a. The inability to match the right colors when putting something together (e.g., outfits)
*b. Is a racial microaggression to say that “all people are equal and should be treated equally regard-
less of their race or culture”
c. Showing empathy to people of color
d. All of the above
Answer: b. Color blindness in counseling is a racial attitude that denies acknowledging the person’s
race, ethnicity, and culture, as if to say that everyone is equal and should be treated the same way. Of-
tentimes, color blindness may be expressed as, “I just don’t see color.” This belief is detrimental to
, the therapeutic relationship because it is failing to recognize the cultural challenges, identities, and in-
tersectionalities of the individual.
5. What is cultural intersectionality?
*a. It is taking into account the social and political identities of the individual. Paying attention to the
key dimensions of the individual and how they overlap cultural experience
b. It is when you see a stop sign at an intersection
c. It is when two individuals come from differing cultural backgrounds
d. When the counselor becomes tired of talking about cultural factors
Answer: a. Cultural intersectionality is the acknowledgment that within groups of people there are
many other defining aspects of their identity, whether it be gender, religion, sexuality, race, and so
on. It is important for counselors to pay attention to a person’s identity and recognize that the indi-
vidual belongs to other social groups.
6. True or False: The Multicultural Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC) is a framework in
which the counselor utilizes to address their client’s and the counselor’s cultural identities that they
bring to the therapeutic relationship.
Answer: True: The MSJCC is a paradigm that helps to guide the counselor as they navigate through
the therapeutic relationship. There are four quadrants in the MSJCC framework: privileged coun-
selor–marginalized client; privileged counselor–privileged client; marginalized counselor–privileged
client; and marginalized counselor–marginalized client.
7. What is self-awareness and why is it important for counselors to exercise?
a. Self-awareness only applies to the clients in the counseling process
*b. Self-awareness is the vehicle for holding consciousness with one’s cultural responsiveness. Coun-
selors are encouraged to hold the utmost level of self-awareness in order to continue to be mindful of
their impact on the therapeutic process
c. Self-awareness is not necessary for counselors and clients to bring into the therapeutic setting
d. All of the above
Answer: b. Self-awareness is a necessary vehicle for keeping consciousness with one’s cultural re-
sponsiveness. Having the utmost understanding of one’s cultural being and consistently paying atten-
tion to how the counselor is bringing themselves into the counseling process. When unaware, the
counselor can negatively impact the therapeutic process. Self-awareness requires continued self-ex-
ploration, assessment, and evaluation-this could be during and after the counseling session.
8. What is transference in counseling?
a. Transference is when the client transfer money to the counselor’s account
b. When the counselor transfers their emotions to the client
*c. When someone (e.g., the client) redirects their feelings about one person onto someone else (e.g.,
the counselor)
d. It doesn’t matter
Answer: c. Transference during the counseling process refers to when the client attempts to transfer
their feelings about someone else to their counselor. For example, the counselor reminds the client of
Copyright © Springer Publishing Company, LLC. All Rights Reserved. 2
, their old English teacher that they disliked, and the client begins to experience the same emotion re-
garding the counselor.
9. What is countertransference in counseling?
*a. When the counselor transfers their emotions to the client
b. When the client transfers their feelings to the counselor
c. When the client’s family members begin to like the counselor
d. It is pretty much the same as transference
Answer: a. Countertransference is the counselor’s reaction to projections of the client unto the ther-
apist. For example, the counselor begins to “like” the client and the counselor begins to fail to chal-
lenge the client when needed.
10. True or False: Value conflict in counseling is when the client and counselor hold the same cultural
values and beliefs.
Answer: False. Value conflict is when there are two or more differing cultural values and beliefs. It is
important to keep in mind that this is bound to happen in the counseling process. Counselors must be
attentive to the contrasting values between the self and clients and also paying attention to the poten-
tial impact of such differing values in the therapeutic relationship.

, CHAPTER 2
Liberation Counseling as a Framework:
Offering Anti-Oppressive Counseling
1. True or False. Liberation counseling is a framework for understanding and addressing oppression
amongst individuals and groups. It is an approach that supports historical memory and crucial
reflection.
Answer: True. The liberation approach to psychology aims to actively understand the psychology of
oppressed and disadvantaged communities by addressing the oppressive sociopolitical construct in
which they exist. Liberation counseling places emphasis on client recollection, cultural capital, and
means to restore marginalized people’s power and voices. The approach is to help foster the strengths
and virtues to promote healing and wellness.
2. What is cultural privilege?
a. It is a cultural status, such as racial identity
b. Privilege exists when one group has something of value that is denied to others simply because of
their group membership
c. Advantages that someone receives by being born into a specific group, such as the White race
*d. All of the above
Answer: d. Privilege is an advantage that is available to a particular person or group. For example,
belonging to the White race is a privilege because folks in the White group are afforded benefits,
prestige, and respect that are not afforded to some Black individuals. It is also important to note that
privilege is not only limited to one’s racial identity but rather can be found because of one’s position.
3. What is intersectionality?
a. It is the intersection where you will find the traffic light
*b. It is a framework for understanding how one’s identities connect to allow for a comprehensive
conceptualization of who the person is
c. It means that persons are the same
Answer. b. Kimberly Crenshaw coined the term intersectionality. She defines this concept as,
intersectionality is a lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it
interlocks and intersects. It is not simply that there is a race problem here, a gender problem here, and
a class or LBGTQ problem there. Many times that framework erases what happens to people who are
subject to all of these things.

, 4. True or False. Oppression is prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control.
Answer. True. Oppression happens when a person exercises their power or influence in a way that is
abusive, unjust, unfair, cruel, or in any way controlling. Many oppressed individuals experience
mental health concerns as a result of the internalization of their oppressed experiences.
5. True or False. An effective application of liberation counseling is for counselors to understand that
racism exists, and they must acknowledge their own biases and assumptions. They are also attuned to
clients’ internalized oppression where clients impose Eurocentric ideals over themselves and other
marginalized people.
Answer: True. Counselors must be willing to be introspective to understand their contribution to
injustices and inequality.
