Not only do the CACREP Standards apply to counselors\u2019 interactions with clients, they also apply to counselors\u2019 roles in eliminating biases, prejudices, and processes of intentional and unintentional oppression and discrimination. Dealing with sexual orientation can be a difficult issue for many counselors as this population is not as easy to identify as other cultural minorities, and society has established norms against homosexual behavior. Most training programs include cultural competence but do not focus on the methods of teaching most conducive to the learning experience. Experiential learning may be a valuable tool in assisting the culturally competent counselor in identifying negative issues in their own belief system and providing basic skills to work toward assisting GLBT individuals in developing a healthy and positive worldview. The purpose of this study was to determine if utilizing experiential training techniques in cultural competence training for counseling students changes their attitudes towards GLBTs, and decreases their level of homophobia. Method Nineteen Master\u2019s level counseling students participated in a three-hour training session utilizing experiential training methods as part of a class in Multicultural Counseling. The students took the Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men Scale (ATLG) and the Homophobia Index before and after the training session, and again at the end of the semester as a follow-up test. Major Findings : The mean score on the ATLG immediately following the training session was lower than the pretests, indicating a more favorable attitude toward GLBT individuals, but the difference was not statistically significant. At the end of the semester the mean ATLG test score was slightly higher than on the posttest. The mean score on the Homophobia Scale decreased after the workshop but returned to slightly above baseline at the end of the semester. These results were also not statistically significant, possibly due in part to the fact that several participants did not complete the follow-up tests. Implications of the findings for counselor training programs are discussed." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC558.D43 2011" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2011" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC558.D43 2011_DeckerBob" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001461/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Decker, Bob" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2011.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 92-117)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "xiii, 135 leaves : ill. ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Bob Decker.
