Abstract

In this chapter, Susan Sisko talks about the importance of developing a multicultural understanding and responsiveness as counsellors and psychologists. The chapter outlines Australian history and the impacts of colonialism and postcolonialism and how the ongoing effects of how these oppressive practices have informed hierarchical systems and impacted non-dominant individuals and groups. The chapter looks at both significant issues related to oppressive practices and approaches to developing multicultural understanding and responsiveness including decolonising practices, intersectionality frameworks and counsellor reflexivity.
