Abstract

This chapter will introduce the counselor trainee to the concepts of intersectionality, privilege, and oppression. Counselors-in-training must understand that anti-oppressive counseling hinges upon culturally responsive interventions. Therefore, the tenets of liberation psychology will be offered as a framework to address social inequalities both in theory and in practice.
