To get the highest grade possible, ask yourself if you have SURPASSED the following standards as you re-read your posts BEFORE submitting them:

1. Responsiveness: For the Main Post: Did I answer the entire question? Is it on time? Does the answer demonstrate that I have read the material for the week and really thought about it?

2. Critical Thinking, Analysis, and Synthesis: Does my post demonstrate my ability to apply, reflect, AND synthesize concepts and issues presented in the weekly learning objectives? Have I integrated and mastered the general principles, ideas, and skills presented? Do my reflections include a clear and direct correlation to authentic examples or are they drawn from professional experience? Do my insights demonstrate significant changes in awareness, self-understanding, and knowledge?

3. Professionalism of Writing: Do my posts meet graduate-level writing expectations (e.g., are clear, concise, and use appropriate language; make few errors in spelling, grammar, and syntax; provide information about sources when paraphrasing or referring to it; use a preponderance of original language and directly quote only when necessary or appropriate)? Are my postings courteous and respectful when offering suggestions, constructive feedback, or opposing viewpoints?

The Influence of Culturally Bound Syndromes and Worldview on the Counseling Relationship
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders includes a section that highlights diagnoses that are specific to a particular culture. If a disorder is prevalent among the majority of members of a particular culture, can a counselor assume a client from that culture is likely to incur that disorder? Some have argued that culture-specific diagnoses are actually a barrier to multicultural counseling. To what extent do a counselor's cultural biases create barriers in counseling?

For this Discussion, review the assigned Learning Resources for this week and refer to Table 10.1: Culture Bound Syndromes from the DSM-IV-TR in the Sue and Sue course text. Then, with culturally bound syndromes in mind, consider how a counselor's worldview could influence the diagnosis of a client or the interpretation of the symptoms a client experiences.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 one way a counselor's cultural worldview might affect his or her assessment and diagnosis of a client's situation. In addition, explain how assumptions based solely on culture could adversely influence the client and the counseling relationship.

Support your responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and current literature.
