Strategies for Clinical Cultural Assessment and Interactions
- Remember that all minority group people in this society are bicultural, at least. The percentage may be 90-10 in either direction, but they still have had the task of integrating two value systems that are often in conflict. The conflicts involved in being bicultural may override any specific cultural content.
- Some aspects of a clientís cultural history, values, and lifestyle are relevant to your work with the client. Others may be simply interesting to you as a professional. Do not prejudge what areas are relevant.
