Strategies for Clinical Cultural Assessment and Interactions
- Consider all clients as individuals first, as members of minority status and then as member of a specific ethnic group.
- Never assume that a personís ethic identity tells you anything about his or her cultural values or patterns of behavior.
- Treat all ìfactî you have ever heard or read about cultural values and traits as hypotheses, to be tested a new with each client. Turn facts into questions.
