Book Description
The present study investigated the relationship between mental health counselor's self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competency. Counselor self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competency were assessed using two self-report measures. The Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) and the Multicultural Counseling Awareness Scale: Form B (MCAS:B) were administered to members of the Oregon Mental Health Counseling Association using the Diliman Method for Internet Surveys. Multiple linear regression was used to identify any relationship between multicultural competency and counselor self-efficacy. Data was collected yielding a response rate of 35% which indicated only marginal statistical significance between counselor self-efficacy and multicultural competence. These results suggest that there could be a relationship between multicultural competence and counselor self-efficacy and has many implications for future research.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among self-efficacy, self advocacy, and multicultural counseling competency of school counselors currently practicing in the US. The research questions guided this study included (a) What are the direct and indirect influences of school counselor self-efficacy on multicultural counseling competence? (b) Is the relationship between self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competence mediated by self-advocacy for school counselors? The data were collected from 306 school counselors practicing in the US. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) were used in the data analysis in the study. The results suggested self-efficacy significantly predicted multicultural counseling competence among the US school counselors. The results of the hypothesized structural model also suggested that self-advocacy had a strong indirect effect on multicultural counseling competence mediated by self-efficacy. The results of the data analysis, discussions of the findings, implications of the current study, and limitations and future research directions are presented herein.

Book Description
Hernandez (2013) claimed that the economic landscape in the United States of American (U.S.) has changed over the last decade, increasing the number of children of low social class standing. Counselors for Social Justice (CSJ; 2011) noted that an achievement gap exists between children of low social class standing and their middle and upper social class standing peers. School counselors and school counselor-in-training (SCITs) serve as advocates to address systemic barriers impeding academic, career, and personal/social success of all students (American School Counselor Association; ASCA, 2012; CSJ, 2011; Erford, 2011). Therefore, the need to understand school counselors’ and SCITs’ multicultural self-efficacy is imperative (Holcomb-McCoy, Harris, Hines, & Johnston, 2008). ASCA and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP, 2016; 2009) provide standards and guidelines for training school counselors to address issues of social class and classism. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between SCITs multicultural competency training and their self-efficacy in social class and classism training regardless of race/ethnicity and gender. This quantitative study consisted of 169 SCITs from CACREP and non-CACREP school counselor programs across the five Association of Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) regions. The survey used in this study contained modified versions of the Multicultural Counseling Competence and Training Survey-Revised (School Counselor Version) (MCCTS-R; Holcomb-McCoy & Day-Vines, 2004); the School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSE; Bodenhorn & Skaggs, 2005); the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR; Paulhus, 1984); and a social class and classism training questionnaire and demographic questionnaire developed for the purposes of this study. Results from this study indicated program accreditation status (i.e., CACREP and non-CACREP) does not appear to influence multicultural competence or self-efficacy, but non-CACREP status did seem to increase perceived social class and classism training competence. In addition, results suggested low social class standing appeared to negatively influence perceived multicultural competency, self-efficacy, and social class and classism training more so than middle or upper social class groups. The number of multicultural competency courses and training level were consistent significant predictors in perceived multicultural competency, self-efficacy, and social class and classism training. However, region did not appear to influence perceived multicultural competency, self-efficacy, or social class and classism training. Finally, this study found a moderate, positive relationship between perceived multicultural competency and self-efficacy regarding social class and classism training. Implications from this study supported previous research (i.e., Constantine, 2001b; Constantine & Yeh, 2001; Holcomb-McCoy, 2005, 2001; Holcomb-McCoy, Gonzalez, & Johnston, 2009; Holcomb-McCoy & Myers, 1999; Larson, Suzuki, Gillespie, Potenza, Bechtel, & Toulouse, 1992) that the number of multicultural competency training courses, training level, and counseling experiences increased perceived multicultural competence and self-efficacy in social class and classism training. Therefore, SCITs should experience social class issues early and often in training through role-plays and modeling to improve the multicultural self-efficacy in social class and classism training (Cartwright, Daniels, & Zhang, 2008; Owen, Bodenhorn, & Bryant, 2010).

Book Description
Multicultural Counseling Competence represents the next giant step toward implementing multicultural standards into the counseling profession. Logically organized and with a list of impressive contributors, . . . this book not only is well grounded in theory and research but is a practical guide to how graduate schools of counseling, clinical psychology, social work, and other helping professions might infuse multicultural competence into their faculty and students, curriculum, field work, and supervision. . . . The editors have made a major substantive contribution to the counseling profession with this text. They have accepted the challenge of cultural diversity and are serving the roles of pioneers in seeking both individual and institutional multicultural competence. --from the Foreword by Derald Wing Sue Professional associations such as the American Psychological Association and the American Counseling Association are beginning to mandate cultural counseling competencies in their ethical guidelines. That is, counselors who work with ethnically, linguistically, and culturally diverse clients must be multiculturally competent. How can multicultural competency be assessed in counselors? How can these competencies be acquired? In this volume, a cast of leading researchers and educators in multicultural counseling and psychology addresses the issues of what makes a counselor multiculturally competent and how to create more culturally competent counselors. Multicultural Counseling Competence considers ways to evaluate counselors for their awareness, knowledge, and skills in working with a broad spectrum of populations. Chapters also examine at length the pedagogical implications of establishing competencies, including training philosophies and models as well as course and curriculum development. Likewise, a group of contributors consider the impact that multiculturalism has on supervision and the theories and strategies that supervisors can use to ensure a culturally competent clinical environment. A cornerstone volume, Multicultural Counseling Competence pulls together the essence of issues facing the establishment of competencies. Counseling educators and supervisors especially will want to use this book to ensure that their programs help counselors become more culturally aware and serve all clients with efficiency and respect.

Book Description
The effectiveness of career counseling treatment outcomes is determined in part by the competence of career counselors themselves who must work with an increasingly expanding range of client diversity including but not limited to more clients of color. Career counselors' self-efficacy in general, and particularly regarding multicultural clientele, is a key component of career counseling effectiveness. This may be especially true for career counselors of color although little research has been conducted to assess variables predictive of self-efficacy among career counselors of color. Due to the potential that their own personal experiences of racial insults may impact treatment competency perceptions, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether self-perceived multicultural competence and self-perceived racial microaggression predicted career counseling self-efficacy among counselors of color. Minority stress theory informed the underpinnings of the present study. One hundred eighteen licensed professional counselors and licensed rehabilitation counselors, self-identified as counselors of color and practicing career counseling, completed the Career Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale, the Racial and Ethnic Microaggression Scale, the Multicultural Counseling Inventory, and a demographic questionnaire. Four hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that stronger career counseling therapeutic process and competency self-efficacy beliefs were significantly predicted by self-perceived increases in multicultural competency skills. However, neither other forms of self-perceived multicultural competencies nor self-perceived microaggression predicted self-efficacy beliefs. Implications for multicultural theory, career counselor practice and education, and future research are discussed.
