Summary
This chapter describes Paul Pedersen’s Triad Training Model, which is a unique experiential activity originally designed for counselors-in-training to help them better understand culturally different others. While it is a versatile tool that can be effective in other types of training situations, it is not well-known outside the field of multicultural counseling. While many popular intercultural simulations target cultural awareness, the Triad Training model is more holistic in that it is able to simultaneously raise awareness, impart cultural knowledge, address emotional issues, and help participants develop skills. This chapter begins by explaining the cultural context that gave birth to the model as well as its research foundation in psychology. Next, it examines its goals as well as how it evolved during the forty years since its creation. Finally, because the model is confrontational in its approach, the author shows how she adapted it for collectivist cultures.
