Embracing Deliberate Practice and Cultural Humility to Deepen Our Understanding of the Multicultural Feminist Approach: The Cases of “Bashiir” and “Jaquann”

Abstract

In this article, we respond with gratitude to commentaries from Dr. Renata Fire (2024) and Dr. Melissa Phillips (2024) on our cases of “Bashiir” and “Jaquann” (Singer, Deboard-Lucas, & Fuentes, 2024). Dr. Fire’s commentary encouraged additional reflection on the inclusion of siblings within the therapeutic context. Dr. Phillips explored themes related to the ecological model. In the following response, guided by multicultural feminist tenets, we reflect on the commentaries provided by our colleagues and offer additional feedback on strategies for increasing engagement of family-centered cases and expanding interventions through deliberate practice to include other systems, including siblings, broader structures, and current developments in the field.
