Third Space: The Need for Multiracial College Student Groups at University Counseling Centers
Narvaez, Rayna C.; Kivlighan, D. Martin, III
Journal of College Student Psychotherapy, v35 n1 p87-101 2021
Multiracial individuals have been simultaneously oppressed and neglected in U.S. society. Although the population of Multiracially-identifying individuals in the United States continues to grow, the predominant counseling literature continues to focus primarily on monoracial identity groups. This has significant implications for Multiracial individuals as they negotiate their space in society. Multiracial college students on predominately monoracial campuses are a particularly vulnerable group that can benefit from support in developing a positive racial identity. This paper offers a review of extant literature on the Multiracial experience in the United States and proposes the utility of Multiracial groups as a university counseling service for Multiracial college student identity development and support.
