Developing a Codebook to Understand Cultural Comfort and Discomfort in Psychotherapy Trainees

Cultural comfort, a therapist’s ease discussing clients’ cultural identities, impacts psychotherapy outcomes (Bartholomew et al., 2020; Kivilghan et al., 2019; Owen et al., 2017). This study used qualitative data to develop a codebook to understand how cultural discomfort manifests in psychotherapy trainees when interacting with diverse client vignettes. The codebook provides insights for educators and supervisors to identify and mitigate cultural discomfort, enhancing multicultural therapy training and practice.
