The Importance of Therapist/Client Ethnic/Racial Matching in Couples Treatment for Domestic Violence

Abstract  

Outcome research indicates a relative degree of variability regarding the effectiveness of client and therapist ethnic/racial
matching (see Cabral and Smith 2011; Shin et al. in J Couns Psychol 52(1):45–56, 2005). Considering these findings, our study hopes to further understand the complexity behind ethnic/racial matching in treatment.
In this study, we examined interviews with clients and therapists regarding ethnic/racial matching in couples treatment for
domestic violence (e.g., McCollum and Stith in Violence Vict 23(2):187–201, 2008). Our findings indicated that ethnic/racial matching is a complex multi-faceted issue and connected ethnic/racial matching
with issues of culture, human experience, and others. We recommend clinicians consider the complexity of ethnic/racial matching
in practice.
