After several decades of slow progress, researchers are beginning to make advances in linking constructs based on the multicultural competencies tradition-especially those focused on qualities of the therapist-to therapy outcomes. The multicultural orientation framework was developed in response to several trends within the multicultural competencies tradition, with a particular emphasis on integrating the multicultural competencies tradition into research on psychotherapy process. We provide a narrative review of studies that include one of the three constructs (i.e., cultural humility, cultural opportunities, and cultural comfort) articulated by the multicultural orientation framework. Results indicate initial evidence linking multicultural orientation constructs to therapy outcomes (e.g., perceived improvement, racial/ethnic disparities in termination, and therapy alliance). Results also supported the social bond and social oil hypotheses from theorizing on humility. Implications for future research and therapy practice are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
经过几十年的缓慢进展，研究人员开始在基于多元文化能力传统的结构联系方面取得进展，尤其是那些关注治疗师素质与治疗结果之间关系的方面。多元文化取向框架是为了回应多元文化能力传统中的几个趋势而发展起来的，特别强调将多元文化能力传统融入心理治疗过程的研究。我们对包含多元文化取向框架所阐述的三个结构之一（即文化谦逊、文化机会和文化舒适）的研究进行了叙述性综述。结果表明，多元文化取向结构与治疗结果（例如，感知的改善、终止时的种族/民族差异和治疗联盟）之间存在初步证据联系。结果还支持谦逊理论中关于社会纽带和社会润滑剂的假设。讨论了对未来研究和治疗实践的影响。
