I’m living with someone who is going to Chatham. There is a heavy amount of “woke” ideology in the program. If post modern theory or intersectionality is your thing, then you will be comfortable there. If you’re more conservative minded or not very ideological, just be prepared to encounter a heavy amount of far left ideology. One required book for a required class is called “Counseling The Culturally Diverse”. It sounds good on it’s face, because obviously it is important to understand other cultures so that you can be a competent therapist. However, the book and course hardly covers other cultures, but focuses on intersectionality in a vague as gaslighting way. Again, it may be your cup of tea. Personally I’m finding it to be toxic and unnecessarily cynical as I’m back in school to become a therapist.
