Although the marriage and family therapy field's recent attention to multicultural issues is laudable, there appears to be little clarity on what constitues an effective multicultural competence. The field countinues to be challenged at different levels‐traning, practive, research, the setting of the standards and the work of the commission on Accrediation for Marriage for Marriage and Family Therapy Education, and the goals and strategic plan of the American Association for Marriage and family Therpy Board. This study focused on assessing the extent of multicultural integration at different levels of traning and the relationship between such training and student's perception of their own multicultural competence.
