Overview
​In 2014, Dr. Ratts chaired the Special Committee on the Multicultural Counseling Competencies commissioned by the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development, a division of the American Counseling Association. This committee was charged with updating the Multicultural Counseling Competencies developed by Sue, Arredondo, and McDavis (1992). This work led to the development of the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies, which were endorsed by the AMCD Executive Council on June 29, 2015 and the American Counseling Association on July 20, 2015.

The Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC), which revises the Multicultural Counseling Competencies (MCC) developed by Sue, Arredondo, and McDavis (1992) offers counselors a framework to implement multicultural and social justice competencies into counseling theories, practices, and research. A conceptual framework of the MSJCC is provided to illustrate a visual map of the relationship between the constructs and competencies being articulated within the MSJCC. Moreover, quadrants are used to highlight the intersection of identities and the dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression that influence the counseling relationship. Developmental domains reflect the different layers that lead to multicultural and social justice competence: (1) counselor self-awareness, (2) client worldview, (3) counseling relationship, and (4) counseling and advocacy interventions. Embedded within the first three developmental domains of the MSJCC are the following aspirational competencies: attitudes and beliefs, knowledge, skills, and action (AKSA). The socioecological model is incorporated within the counseling and advocacy interventions domain to provide counselors a multilevel framework for individual counseling and social justice advocacy.
