Question

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Training therapists from diverse ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds will allow for a more culturally sensitive approach to therapy, which is essential to effectively assist clients from different backgrounds. This also helps to eliminate biases and stereotypes that may be present in therapy from a single cultural lens. While eliminating poverty and fully integrating various cultural groups into mainstream culture may have positive impacts, they are not necessarily feasible solutions and do not directly address the issue of providing culturally competent psychotherapy. Providing white therapists with a broader base of training is also helpful, but it is not enough on its own to fully address the needs of a multicultural population.
