Bioethicists have made great strides in identifying and addressing biases that can negatively impact healthcare outcomes. However, the scope of these efforts has rarely
included mental healthcare, such as psychotherapy. Discussion of healthcare biases also
does not address socio-economic class as adequately as it should. In what follows, I argue
that class related biases may be detrimental to the effectiveness of mental health
treatment. Unconscious class biases may harm the relationship between a psychologist
and patient in ways that are not adequately understood or appreciated. I also examine
ways in which class bias may be incorporated into current anti-bias education and
training practices. / Urban Bioethics
