Clara Hill Three Stage Model Summary

Gwendolyn, I too enjoy learning about Clara Hill’s Three Stage Integrated Model the three stages exploration, insight, and action. Hill says in the exploration stage of the three-stage model, it is important for clinicians to understand a client’s culture I believe that is so accurate. In the Black culture, it is such a huge stigma if a person pursues a therapist. A relative may make a comment are you crazy, is something wrong with your brain. Friends and family members may ostracize someone because they are getting counselled. This could make the client change their mind about seeing a counselor. If a counselor understands the culture it makes it easier to treat the client, give them information about counseling, and answer those questions
