Oakley et al. (2013) developed and evaluated the effectiveness of the brief relational-cultural therapy model (BRCTM). The BRCTM follows five principles: (a) creating equity, mutuality, and authenticity between clients and counselors; (b) intentional focusing on empowerment in a time-limited model; (c) working to promote empowerment in the client’s community and larger social context; (d) developing relational competence and empowerment; and (e) developing personal power and self-compassion. The follow-up data collected in this study demonstrated that this intervention was effective for women who indicated a wide range of concerns. A vast majority of these clients reported that the BRCTM helped them make meaningful changes in their lives.
