Examining multicultural counseling competencies of graduate students in psychology
Article Abstract:
Psychology students believed that they receive variable training for multicultural counseling. Counseling psychology students reported that they were adequately prepared for counseling minorities as compared to clinical psychology students. The higher perceived level of competence among counseling students may be due to the greater number of courses on multicultural counseling available in their programs, which may involve interaction with racially diverse clients. In addition, minority students also reported greater awareness of multicultural issues due to their own ethnicity.

Psychologists' attitudes toward persons with AIDS: stigmatization or just a less positive outlook?
Article Abstract:
Fliszar and Clopton's (FC) article on the attitudes of psychologists toward persons with AIDS is analyzed. The objective of FC's study is to evaluate the level of accomplishment of clinical and counseling psychology graduate training programs designed to change negative attitudes toward persons with AIDS. FC's findings indicate that the training programs may not have been as successful as expected. Moreover, contrary to previous studies, FC's research shows that psychologists' 'attitudes are not negative and do not reflect a global stigmatization of AIDS patients.'

Attitudes of psychologists in training towards persons with AIDS
Article Abstract:
A group of clinical psychology students were surveyed to determine their attitudes to patients suffering from AIDS as compared with patients suffering from another serious illness such as leukemia. The survey found that psychologists in training believed AIDS patients were the cause of their own illness and deserved the illness. They also expressed concern about the risks of working with an AIDS patient in psychotherapy. However, they did not express any aversion to treating AIDS patients.
