  2. Multicultural Counseling Multicultural counseling and therapy must be about • social justice • providing equal access and opportunity to all groups • being inclusive • removing individual and systemic barriers to fair mental health treatment • insuring that counseling/therapy services are directed at the micro, meso and macro levels of our society

  3. Locus of Control • Internal control (IC) refers to people’s beliefs that reinforcements are contingent on their own actions and that they can shape their own fate • External control (EC) refers to people’s beliefs that reinforcing events occur independently of their actions and that the future is determined more by chance and luck.

  4. Locus of Responsibility • This dimension measures the degree of responsibility or blame placed on the individual or system

  5. Understanding Individual and Systemic Worldviews • Worldviews composed of our attitudes, values, opinions, and concepts, but they also affect how we think, define events, make decisions, and behave

  6. Formation of Worldviews • Worldviews are formed on a continuum: • internal locus of responsibility (IC-IR), external locus of control • internal locus of responsibility (EC-IR), internal locus of control • external locus of responsibility (IC-ER), and external locus of control • external locus of responsibility (EC-ER)
