Abstract
This article introduces a special section that addresses the need for culturally and structurally responsive training in psychotherapy. Nine articles explore how to prepare psychotherapists to address cultural and structural factors, in addition to individual and interpersonal factors, in their practice. Key themes include fostering a more critical form of cultural humility, building critical consciousness, and addressing oppressive systems within psychotherapy, supervision, the training environment, and accreditation. The articles also highlight the importance of advocacy for social or structural change, challenging psychotherapists to expand their scope to include systemic influences on client well-being. Together, these contributions provide actionable frameworks to prepare psychotherapists for antioppressive, equity-driven care. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
