Present efforts to train counselors in cross-cultural skills do not address issues of White counselors' own racism. This dissertation describes a White awareness training program for counselors based on Katz' (1978) model. Twenty-eight participants completed training which covered the six stages of White awareness: (1) defining racism and prejudice, (2) examining institutional racism, (3) dealing with feelings, (4) examining cultural racism, (5) examining individual racism, and (6) developing action strategies.
