For instance, Hall et al. (2021) recently proposed the personal relevance of psychotherapy (PROP) model for culturally adapting psychotherapy to reduce mental health disparities.

Thus, experiences of racial microaggressions not only appear to negatively affect the specific therapeutic context in which these experiences occur, but they also alter clients’ perceptions of therapy and mental health services more broadly, including greater mistrust of mental health providers
This heavily affects other races even today although these circumstances started years ago.
First, skills- and process-based models dominate the conceptual literature on cultural competence, but they are rarely tested in clinical trials.
Why is it that they are rarely tested?
