The Supervisee's Experience In Cross-Cultural Music Therapy Supervision, Seung-A Kim Ph.D., L.C.A.T., Mt-Bc

Faculty Works: MT (2003-2021)

My awareness of culture began when I moved to the United States. That is when I began to see my own culture as something distinct. Before that, I simply regarded it as the way things are in life. Because culture is deeply embedded in us, we often take it for granted. When I was studying music therapy in the United States, however, I learned more and more about the challenges of cross-cultural interactions, especially in educational, clinical, and supervision settings. It was then that the implications of culture came into my awareness.
