Dr. William Ming Liu joins us for an introductory-level conversation about multicultural competence and telepsychology—in particular, on video teleconferencing. Dr. Liu covers understanding minority clients’ potential misgivings about telepsychology and the importance of acknowledging those feelings in building a trusting relationship between the provider and the client.
