There are also counseling theories that were created out of multicultural and social justice aims and processes, so the background, major constructs, therapeutic relationship, strategies, and interventions are grounded in critical concepts and the need for action around systemic oppression, marginalization, colonization, privilege, inequity, exclusion, cultural assimilation, lack of access, and disempowerment. Counselors may also focus on mutuality in relationship, collectivistic processes and views, removing ideology, reflexivity, honoring resilience in the face of oppressive stress, and affirming identity rather than socializing or resocializing to a paradigm. This book covers two important counseling practice theories in this regard: relational cultural theory (the focus of Chapter 2) and feminist theory (the focus of Chapter 14).
