Transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) people report experiencing discrimination from therapists. A step to reducing these microaggressions is for therapists to be able to identify them. Psychological trainees and psychologists ( n = 105) were randomly assigned to watch a video vignette therapy session: a session with (a) blatant therapist microaggressions (nonaffirming), (b) therapist-led transition focus (transition affirming), and (c) gender exploration focus (nonbinary affirming). There was no difference in microaggression detection between the two affirming conditions. The microaggression condition of participants had a negative effect on ratings of therapist multicultural orientation (MCO). Additionally, attitudes towards transgender people moderated the relationship between microaggression conditions and ratings of therapist’s cultural humility for the affirming conditions; participants in the nonbinary affirming condition rated the therapist more culturally humble as their positive attitudes towards TGNB people increased, and participants rated the therapist as less culturally humble as TGNB attitudes increased in the transition affirming condition.

This qualitative study focused on the perspectives of forced migrants’ and their pursuit of mental health services, specifically as they relate to language use in therapy. Semistructured interviews were held during two face-to-face focus groups consisting of 16 adult participants identifying as forced migrants. Analysis of translated and transcribed interviews was conducted by a research team utilizing a constructivist approach to grounded theory. A substantive theoretical model on engagement in therapy emerged, with the core category of culture, which influences forced migrants’ level of trust and mistrust in psychotherapy. Multiple factors, including perceptions of therapy and English language facility, impacted forced migrants’ willingness to engage in psychotherapy. Findings supported language as a barrier to psychotherapy, even when an interpreter was utilized. Consistencies and inconsistencies of findings between the present study and existing literature were offered. Clinical, training, advocacy, and research implications of this study were explored.

For counseling psychology to realize its commitments to uprooting anti-Black racism and white supremacy, we must shift from an individual to a structural frame of reference. We expand on prior calls to build upon the structural competencies approach that has been detailed in the medical literature and integrated into medical education. Whereas our existing “cultural” approaches orient us toward individual differences and characteristics, the structural competencies approach compels us to deeply understand, and ground our interventions in, how individual and community-level outcomes result from structural determinants of health, including and especially anti-Black racism and white supremacy. We further argue that we must take a structural competencies approach to all the work of counseling psychologists, not just psychotherapy. Using a hypothetical vignette, we briefly describe what such an approach might look like in practice. We provide recommendations for next steps in counseling psychology education and training.

Anti-Black racism and cissexism have been strong motivators for Black trans and gender diverse (TGD) communities to engage in activism. Furthermore, Black TGD people have often been at the forefront of activist movements, yet they rarely receive recognition for their role in disrupting systems of oppression and contributing to liberation movements. Although researchers have documented that young Black and TGD people have played a crucial role in activist movements, they have yet to document the intersectional experiences of young Black TGD people within activism. This study used semistructured interviews to explore the experiences of 15 young Black TGD people within activism movements, including different forms of activism and factors related to involvement and impact. Reflexive thematic analysis resulted in five main themes and 13 subthemes as key aspects of activism: (a) community, (b) education, (c) identity, (d) intersectionality, and (e) prioritizing one’s well-being, plus 13 subthemes. We discuss implications for practice, training, and advocacy.

We tested whether a digital storytelling video on anti-Black racism could improve empathic reactions to anti-Black racism and decrease fear of Black individuals (FBI) among Asian American emerging adults, and whether these changes were associated with greater anti-racism advocacy intentions. Asian American emerging adults ( Mage = 19.92; N = 205) were randomly assigned to view either storytelling or informational online videos. Data was collected before and after viewing the videos. The changes in empathic reactions and fear were analyzed using polynomial regression with response surface analysis. Those who viewed the storytelling video significantly increased their empathy and this change was significantly associated with greater individual anti-racism advocacy (IndAdv) and institutional anti-racism advocacy (IntAdv). Reductions in fear were not associated with greater advocacy. The informational video did not improve empathy but did decrease fear, which was associated with greater IndAdv. Therefore, digital storytelling videos may be a useful tool to promote advocacy against anti-Black racism.

Few studies have focused on the racial socialization of Indian Americans, particularly those raised in the United States. The present study explored 1.5 and 2nd generation Indian Americans’ experiences of racial socialization in multiple contexts. Forty-four adult Indian Americans from diverse regions of the United States participated in semi-structured focus group interviews via video teleconference. Sixteen participants were 1.5 generation and 28 were 2nd generation. Data was analyzed using grounded theory. The results indicated three interrelated domains including: (a) Discussion of Race and Racism; (b) Awareness of Self in the Context of Racial and Cultural Differences; and (c) Role of Intra- and Inter-group Biases. The findings underscore how the minimization of racism within and outside of Indian American contexts, a colonial mentality transmitted intergenerationally, and negative impacts of casteism, sexism, and racism may influence one’s racial consciousness and racial socialization. Implications for culturally informed research, practice, advocacy, and training are detailed.

Research shows that cultural identity styles (CIS; i.e., hybrid identity style [HIS] vs. alternating identity style [AIS]) and cultural stressors (i.e., discrimination, negative context of reception, and bicultural stressors) are associated, but the directionality of this association remains unclear. Using a 2-wave, self-report dataset and a cross-lagged design, we examined the directionality of the associations between cultural stressors and CIS among 824 first- and second-generation U.S. Hispanic college students over a 12-day period. Across two waves, results of our path analysis indicated that in particular CIS temporally predict cultural stressors rather than vice versa. Whereas AIS predicted higher levels of perceived cultural stressors, HIS predicted lower levels of perceived cultural stressors. Moreover, contrary to our expectations, we also found a small negative effect of perceived discrimination on AIS. These findings suggest that HIS may play a more favorable role than AIS for bicultural identity formation and for decreasing cultural stressors.
