Abstract
ABSTRACT This qualitative interview study explores experiences of multicultural supervision among 15 qualified and trainee psychology and psychotherapy supervisees in Ireland, a country with a historically monocultural and post-colonial background. Unlike nations with established multicultural identities that integrate historical inequities and exclusions into their multicultural narratives, Ireland’s encounter with multiculturalism is a recent development, making these concepts relatively unfamiliar. This study’s descriptive-interpretive method highlighted cultural behaviors and blind spots that supervisees perceived as impacting on their supervisory relationship, their openness within supervision, and cultural competence. Implications for practice, training and further research are discussed.
