Master’s Students’ Experiences in a Multicultural Counseling Role-Play

This study examined the experiences of master’s students in regard to their participation in a multicultural role-play and
review process (Jencius et al.
2004). Whereas the literature has supported the use of role-plays as a multicultural training technique (Alvarez and Miville 2003; Vazquez and Garcia-Vazquez 2003), there is a distinct lack of information on the actual role-play experience itself. The data analyzed from participants’
reported experiences about their student counselor and student client roles in this study offers valuable feedback to those
who teach multicultural counseling. Participants reported qualitatively different experiences based on which particular role
they held.
