Abstract
The authors investigated 2 competing hypotheses related to therapists' worl dview and therapists' race/ethnicity: (a) whether therapists of different r acial/ethnic groups differed on worldview reflecting group membership, and (b] whether therapists were similar to each other on worldview reflecting m embership in a "therapist culture." Results indicated that therapists share d similar worldviews regardless of group membership, and differences found between therapists based on racial/ethnic membership were minimal.
