Minority curricula or a curriculum of cultural diversity? Differences that make a difference.

Suggests that the article by M. E. Bernal and A. M. Padilla (see record 1983-06520-001) is a useful reminder of the discrepancy between the American Psychological Association's (APA's) commitment to training clinical psychologists sensitive to the entire range of human diversity and the way in which clinical programs are structured and accredited. The present authors emphasize that a genuine commitment to cultural diversity is essential if training programs are to fulfill the long-range goals of the APA. An attempt is made to reframe the task from one limited to dealing with minority psychology to one that addresses the broader issues of cultural diversity.
