Abstract

Although counselor broaching of cultural identities and structural issues with clients is broadly supported by the counseling profession, how to do so most effectively has been debated. In this article, I identify core tenets, or commonalities, across the broaching literature and critically examine the debates about specific components of broaching practice. I define the term broaching and invite empirical tests of broaching components to begin a process of translating culturally responsive theory into an observable, evidence-based skill set. A pesar de que en la práctica profesional de la consejería se aprueba mayoritariamente el abordamiento de las identidades culturales y problemas estructurales con los clientes, aún se debate cómo hacerlo de la forma más efectiva. En este artículo, identifico principios fundamentales, o rasgos comunes, en la literatura sobre el abordamiento y examino críticamente los debates sobre componentes específicos de la práctica del abordamiento. Defino el término abordamiento y solicito pruebas empíricas de los componentes del abordamiento para iniciar el proceso de convertir una teoría culturalmente sensible en un conjunto de habilidades observables y basadas en pruebas.
