Answer: b
Solution: B is the correct response because cultural-bound (e.g., traditions, nature of people),

relationships.

not cultural barriers that can lead to ineffective helping relationships.

Question 9
Question Type: True/False
Question: Assertiveness training represents the White cultural value of emotional and behavioral
expressiveness.
Answer: True
Solution: Assertiveness training reflects a valuing of verbal, emotional, and behavioral
expressiveness; these characteristics of counseling are antagonistic to lower-class values and to
different cultural values as well. The authors cite Wood and Mallinckrodt (1990), who
recommend that in teaching assertiveness skills, gaining these skills is a value shared by the
client of color and not being imposed by the therapist.

emphasized by collectivism?

d. sadness

affective expression emphasized by collectivism.

Question 11
Question Type: Essay Type
Question: How should a lack of self-disclosure be understood when working with diverse
populations?
Solution: Throughout the textbook thus far, the authors have highlighted some of the main
differences in self-disclosure among people groups. This chapter elaborates on this, and the
authors point out that most forms of counseling and psychotherapy tend to value one’s ability to
self-disclose and to talk about the most intimate aspects of one’s life. Self-disclosure has often
been discussed as a primary characteristic of a healthy personality. Therefore, clients who do not
self-disclose readily in counseling and psychotherapy are seen to possess negative features; that
is, being guarded, mistrustful, or paranoid. However, multicultural therapists must recognize that
personal self-disclosure in some collectivistic societies is not acceptable because it may reflect
poorly on the entire family and bring a collective sense of shame. Previous experiences in some
groups may prohibit self-disclosure due to past history of racism.
