Specific to multicultural competency, The Guidelines on Multicultural Education, Training, Research, Practice, and Organizational Change for Psychologists were adopted as APA policy in 2002 http://www.apa.org/pi/multiculturalguidelines.pdf. In the Guidelines, the term multicultural is defined “narrowly, to refer to interactions between individuals from minority ethnic and racial groups in the United States and the dominant European-American culture.” While this definition applies to all clients, the authors note that, “There is a greater need for psychologists working with the elderly overall, and a need for them to be able to work with a racially/ethnically diverse population, as well as working with employers and organizations as they cope with an aging workforce” (APA, 2002, p. 2).
