African American Counseling Students' Interactions with Counseling Faculty
Joel J. Brown
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) specifically addresses the need for counselor preparation programs to integrate diversity throughout their entry-level instruction (CACREP, 2015). For instance, Section 2.F.2. of the CACREP's standards includes several considerations regarding diversity and multiculturalism, providing counselor educators with considerations regarding clients' help- seeking behaviors, identity, advocacy, counseling, oppression, and discrimination (CACREP, 2015). Furthermore, a preponderance of counseling literature advocates for counselor preparation programs to include the voices of individuals belonging to systemically oppressed or marginalized groups (Hoskins & Golberg, 2005; Liu, 2005; Stadler, Suh, Cobia, Middleton, & Carney, 2006; West & Moore, 2015). Thus, research specific to understanding African American master's students' interactions with faculty may supplement existing literature specific to pedagogy, supervision, mentorship, and the practice of culturally-responsive counseling. 10 African American male counseling students enrolled in CACREP-accredited master's programs were individually interviewed via ZOOM technology , using semi-structured questions to explore their interactions with counseling faculty. The content of participants' interviews was analyzed through the lens of African American Male Theory (AAMT), using a multi-step content analysis procedure to identify seven themes. Findings, implications, and recommendations for future research are presented here. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
