Cultural Humility & Critical Pedagogy Form
More Information:
Learning Objectives:
As a result of this training, the participants will
- Learn two models that can be used in practice, leadership, and research
- Have opportunities to reflect on using narrative work in understanding the self, other, and interrelationships
- Learn two ways to integrate understanding of the pedagogy of the oppressed and cycle of liberation in daily practice
Target Audience and Instructional Level:
The target audience of this training is intended for intermediate to advanced clinicians, as it assumes clinicians already have a solid grasp on a variety of theoretical orientations and therapy approaches. Additionally, attendees will be expected to have decent abilities to reflect on their own practice and systemic/environmental functioning to apply to concepts being discussed. Material will be presented in a Seminar format, in that there will be some explanation of specific concepts and a case application with the purpose of stimulating discourse. The material is above/beyond graduate school learning in that it is focused on contextualizing psychotherapy and how to practically assume a perspective or attitude of cultural humility with de-identified case examples utilized. As such, the training assumes clinicians will understand and be able to synthesize and discuss information from a variety of theoretical approaches and treatment modalities.

This training seminar aims to enhance the professional development of intermediate to advanced clinicians by fostering a deeper understanding of cultural humility and critical pedagogy in psychotherapy practice. Participants will identify how to use specific models or frameworks—such as the Dialectical Model of Intercultural Communication, Narrative theory, the Radical healing framework, and others—in their clinical work.
The seminar format will encourage active discourse through case studies that contextualized psychotherapy by applying concepts from models reviewed. By moving beyond traditional educational models, this training emphasizes the importance of viewing clinical interactions as collaborative learning experiences, empowering clinicians to adopt a learner’s perspective, thus enhancing their effectiveness in providing culturally attuned psychological services. Ultimately, this seminar seeks to equip mental health professionals with the tools necessary to integrate cultural humility and critical pedagogical approaches, enhancing their effectiveness in serving diverse populations in an evolving societal landscape. This exploration is particularly relevant given the evolving societal contexts in which clinicians operate, addressing the need for growth and adaptation in professional practices.
