auwebmaster<\/span><\/a><\/div>

In June 2023, Dr. Bergkamp and colleagues published an article in the APA flagship forensic psychology journal of\u00a0Frontiers in Psychology. The article asserts that while many professional associations within clinical and counseling psychology have made an aspirational call for clinician awareness of social position, there is a lack of research into how socially-conferred privilege impacts psychotherapy. The article explores the differences in race and gender within the therapeutic dyad, in which there is a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color)\/white\u00a0or male\/female-identified dynamic.<\/p>\n
