During the 1960s many blacks criticized the counseling profession for an alleged insensitivity to cultural differences among client groups. Responding to this criticism the profession initiated various programs designed to familiarize counselors with Afro-American culture. However, most persons in the field conceived of Afro-American culture as if it were a homogeneous and static entity. The article suggests serious limitations to this conceptualization, which Anthony Wallace calls the "replication of conformity" approach to culture, and advocates that counselors try to understand Afro-American culture as an organization of diverse elements
