For many women of color that ascribe to a collectivistic culture, navigating conflict, especially within the family, can be difficult. In particular, women who identify as Latina or Chicana who uphold collectivistic values such as personalismo and familismo (Ramirez, 1990) can find it distressing in therapy when therapeutic interventions center individualism and are not culturally relevant. In the clinical setting, the work to de-center whiteness, individualism, and sexism is critical to support the development of healthy relationships that are culturally congruent.

Presenter will address clinical responsiveness to Latino/a/es/Chicano/a/es who are navigating conflict with family members centering collectivistic values and indigenous philosophy. This workshop will engage participants to reflect on personal and professional values that influence the therapeutic work as well as present a more inclusive and culturally responsive approach to working with clients with familial conflict.
