Multicultural Counseling Meets Potentially Harmful Therapy

This reaction includes an appraisal of contributions, limitations, and questions raised in Wendt, Gone, & Nagata’s major contribution regarding potentially harmful therapy (PHT) and multicultural counseling. The authors are commended for initiating a convergent dialogue between the PHT and multicultural counseling literatures, creating a strong argument for their integration, and contextualizing the prior division. Commentary is provided in response to the narrow emphasis on an ethnoracial domain of culture, and suggestions for broadening the PHT/multicultural counseling dialogue through inclusion of multiple identities and intersectionality are provided. Greater integration of specific ethics codes and guidelines is also encouraged. Finally, future directions for consideration and study are posited, including the practicalities of researching harm within an integrated PHT/multicultural counseling framework, the necessity of working toward a refined definition of harm, and the manner through which the multicultural counseling perspective on addressing culturally based injury could augment existing PHT efforts to mitigate harm
