What Chaplains and Clergy Need to Know About Cultural Self-Awareness” created by the Rev. Dagmar Grefe, PhD, Manager of Spiritual Care Services/ACPE Supervisor, Childrens Hospital, Los Angeles; Templeton Visiting Scholar, HealthCare Chaplaincy

Cultural self-awareness is awareness of interactions of cultural groups, and awareness of the psychological processes that occur automatically and impact on our social behaviors. Social psychology provides a framework for understanding why human beings categorize others, develop stereotypes, and respond to others in automatic ways. Included in this online course are methods to improve cultural self-awareness. The information is based in psychological research and theory.
