Using the Kenny, Kashy, and Cook (2006) one-with-many method, we investigated client and counselor reports of counselors' level of multicultural counseling competence (MCC) across 4 therapy sessions at a university counseling center. Specifically, we analyzed the association between counselor MCC and client psychological well-being among 133 clients of color receiving psychotherapy from 24 counselors. We found that both client and counselor perspectives suggested that some counselors possessed generally higher MCC than others. Counselors' self-assessments of MCC, however, did not relate with their clients' assessments of counselor MCC-replicating findings from past studies of MCC. On average, counselors whose clients generally perceived them as more multiculturally competent did not report improved psychological well-being at the fourth session. Likewise, counselors who generally reported more MCC did not have clients who improved more in psychological well-being than would be expected over 4 sessions. Notably, at the dyad-level, clients who rated their counselor more highly on MCC than their counselors' other clients tended to report greater improvement in well-being. Suggestions for future MCC research involving dyadic analytic designs are described. (PsycINFO Database Record
我们采用肯尼、卡希和库克（2006年）的“一对多”方法，对一所大学咨询中心4次治疗会话中来访者和咨询师报告的咨询师多元文化咨询能力（MCC）水平进行了调查。具体而言，我们分析了24位咨询师为133名有色人种来访者提供心理治疗时，咨询师的MCC与来访者心理健康之间的关联。我们发现，来访者和咨询师的观点均表明，一些咨询师的MCC总体上高于其他咨询师。然而，咨询师对MCC的自我评估与来访者对咨询师MCC的评估并无关联——这重复了以往MCC研究的结果。平均而言，那些来访者总体上认为其更具多元文化能力的咨询师，在第四次会话时并未报告来访者心理健康状况有所改善。同样，那些总体上报告自己MCC更高的咨询师，其来访者在心理健康方面的改善程度并不比预期在4次会话中的改善程度更大。值得注意的是，在二元组层面，那些在MCC方面对自己咨询师的评价高于咨询师其他来访者的来访者，往往报告自己的幸福感有更大改善。文中还描述了未来涉及二元分析设计的MCC研究的建议。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》 ）
