"Colors come from God...Just like me!"

This is my homage to children's books that celebrate diversity. Seriously, the book, PEOPLE, is pretty cool if you ever want to check it out. It's from the 70's so you know it is legit.

In my opinion, much better than the current laundry list of racial identity development models that we need to learn for the EPPP. What if it was as simple as one or two models? Or better yet, a few concepts or principles like overall racial identity and/or acculturation.

I also need to brush up on my outdated and inconsistent ideas about multicultural therapy. I was just talking with EB about how it is kind of ridiculous that they make us learn these somewhat outdated concepts, given what we have learned in the last two decades of research on diversity and therapy. Also, I'm so over the having to learn about these concepts that are inconsistent. Is it outcomes matter if you are of a certain racial background (with regard to matching) or they don't and it's all pretty much equal? Terminates early or doesn't matter, over/underutilizes or doesn't? 

Okay, since we have to know it regardless, I've pulled a couple of outlines from the goldmine files on the EPPP Prep group on Yahoo that are specifically about the diversity issues...as taught in the prep materials. ;) Before I get to take this beast, I will be spending some quality time with all those models to make sure that I can pickr which person's Immersion-Emersion step they are referring to this time.
