Abstract	More than 30 years ago, Vontress (1971) advocated for counselor training programs to address the role of race in the counseling process and the ways in which racial factors impede the development of counselor-client rapport. He posited that the anxiety experienced by White clinicians in cross-racial counseling dyads is manifest in reactions of counter-transference. A quarter of a century later, Helms (1994) took counseling psychologists and counselor educators to task for continuing to ignore the role of racial factors in the counseling process. More recently several scholars have reiterated the need for multicultural counseling training curricula (Ancis & Szymanski, 2001; Arredondo, 1999; Burkard, Ponterotto, Reynolds, & Alfonso, 1999; Cardemil & Battle, 2003; D?Andrea & Daniels, 1999, 2001; Helms & Cook, 1999; Landany, Inman, Constantine,& Hofheinz, 1997; Pack-Brown, 1999; Utsey, Gernat, & Bolden, 2002). Yet despite the calls for further investigation of the influence of racial factors and racial identity in counseling, few researchers have empirically committed to examining racial factors in the counseling and supervision relationship. Our study (Utsey, Gernat, & Hammar, 2005 [this issue]) was intended to widen the dialogue within and among counseling psychology training programs and among researchers and counselor educators regarding the significance of racial issues in the counseling and supervision dyad. We hope that our findings will provide insight into the complexity of the defenses erected by White counselor trainees to manage the anxiety associated with confronting racial issues in the counseling and supervision.We are especially grateful for the opportunity to share our research with the broader community of counseling psychologists. We appreciate the comments by the reactants, all of whom are highly respected scholars who have made substantial contributions to counseling psychology. Our rejoinder is written in the spirit of advancing the field toward (Author).
