Progress in the development of culturally relevant interventions, however, has been slow. In this commentary, I consider reasons for this slow progress, including accessibility for diverse groups and clinical psychologists' attitudes. The limited representation of diverse groups in research samples and in the psychology workforce may be a result of limited funding for diversification. Another reason for the lack of diversification may be psychologists' resistant attitudes. Lau (2006) has created a road map to diversify clinical psychology science and practice, and it is our responsibility as individuals and a field to use this road map to diversify clinical psychology. |
