Even within counseling psychology's multicultural literature, attention to persons of Arab descent remains limited. Despite counseling psychologists' goal of becoming more multiculturally proficient, the dearth of systematic empirical research on the counseling of Arab Americans is glaring. This exploratory consensual qualitative research (CQR) investigation analyzed interview data from 11 Arab American women to explore their experiences at the intersections of ethnic identity and gender. In addition to describing a need to be hyperaware and responsive to societal and familial expectations, participants reported believing that they did not fit American society's view of Arab American women. They also conveyed feelings of invisibility and invalidation due to racial ambiguity, and lack of census recognition. The findings affirm the need to increase psychological focus on Arab American women to facilitate the multiculturally competent practice of counseling psychologists working with this population.

即使在咨询心理学的多元文化文献中，对阿拉伯裔人群的关注仍然有限。尽管咨询心理学家的目标是更加精通多元文化，但对阿拉伯裔美国人的咨询缺乏系统的实证研究，这一点显而易见。本探索性共识定性研究（CQR）调查分析了来自 11 名阿拉伯裔美国女性的访谈数据，以探讨她们在族裔认同和性别交叉点上的经历。除了描述需要高度意识到并响应社会和家庭的期望之外，参与者还报告说，他们认为自己不符合美国社会对阿拉伯裔美国女性的看法。由于种族模糊性和人口普查缺乏认可，他们还表达了自己的无形感和无效感。研究结果肯定了需要增加对阿拉伯裔美国女性的心理关注，以促进咨询心理学家在与这一人群合作时的多元文化能力实践。（APA，2019 年，所有权利保留）。
