Abstract:
Acceptance and inclusion of diversity is challenged by the prevailing sociopolitical and ethnocultural framework. To examine the impact of cultural diversity on practitioner construct systems, mental health practitioners’ constructions and preference for diversity. Data was analyzed thematically and interpreted using Personal Construct Theory—the theoretical framework that informed the study. The findings reiterate those found in research literature which highlights the persistent role of diversity. The results suggest that a potential shift has occurred in the discourse on constructions of different people amongst mental health practitioners. This shift may be the movement away from being blind to difference and acknowledgement of the inequities and inequalities experienced by diverse groups. The implications of such a shift allow people increased opportunities for access to and engagement with supports aimed at improving psychological wellbeing.
