| Abstract: | To advance the multicultural counseling (MCC) movement counselors and theorists have explored how postmodern concepts might
offer meaningful new directions. To expand on these discussions this paper considers what ethnomethodology (EM), an approach
that has contributed to the postmodern interest in social interaction, has to offer debates around how to conceptualize competence
and culture. This goal is realized by reviewing how culture and competence have been historically conceptualized in the MCC
movement and articulating the challenge posed when one takes up an EM lens. Questions are generated from this perspective
and consideration given to how close examinations of counselor/client interactions provide a means for answering such questions. |
