The purpose of this course is to improve students' cultural competence by sensitizing them to sources of bias in family service delivery, particularly those associated with race, culture/ ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, immigration, spirituality, and ability. Students will be introduced to major critiques of service delivery, couple and family therapy, and research from each of these perspectives, as well as recommendations for addressing these issues in practice.
