- Abstract
Taking a reflective synthesis approach, this article reviews and analyzes existing evidence related to the application of practicum-based multicultural and social justice training (MSJT) aimed at developing cultural competence and social responsiveness in psychology and counsellor trainees. Specifically, in this article, I review and address (a) conceptual-- theoretical and empirical evidence of experiential MSJT and multicultural practicum; (b) my personal journeys towards service-focused and community-oriented scholarship and practice; (c) the content and structure of the Refugee-Serving Multicultural Therapy Practicum, as an exemplary model of service-training MSJT; and (d) the "lessons learned" based on an evaluative study of trainees' cultural learning and change process experienced in this practicum. Both conceptual and empirical evidence synthesized in this article point to practicum-based MSJT, such as the Refugee-Serving Multicultural Practicum, as a viable, multifaceted, and highly promising training modality that can enhance trainees' culturally informed interventions, social advocacy, and community collaboration. Therefore, continuous deliberation, experimentation, and research of MSJT practicum and other related experiential pedagogies are warranted, to help propel psychology towards greater cultural, social, and community responsiveness.
