Abstract

How do psychotherapy supervisors most effectively integrate issues and concerns about multiculturalism and social justice (MSJ) into the supervisory experience? Concrete examples of how to best address this integration are needed, and this article provides one such example. The authors propose multicultural streaming as one approach to orient supervisees about, and prepare them for, incorporation of MSJ matters into group supervision and to foster their evolving sense of culturally humble practice. This article defines multicultural streaming, presents a plan for its implementation at the group’s outset, and identifies implementation guideposts for consideration. A set of cultural humility guidelines adapted for group supervision is also proposed for group facilitation. This perspective is presented with the hope of generating further discussion about integrating MSJ issues into the group supervisory experience.
