The interconnectedness between cultural humility and broaching in clinical supervision: working from the multicultural orientation framework

Abstract

The necessity for clinical supervisors to engage in multicultural competent supervision has proven crucial in practice. Yet, the implementation of foundational tenets of multicultural sensitive supervision practice have yet to be constructed as a cohesive model. In this article we share a model to describe how the concepts of cultural humility, broaching in counseling, and multicultural orientation work as a whole for clinical supervisors. We offer a rationale for the bidirectional nature of cultural humility and broaching grounded within a multicultural orientation framework. The three concepts are defined, and the interconnectedness of cultural humility and broaching are explored. Recommendations for clinical supervisors are offered.
