Discuss how a female, hindu client may not respond

Reference no: EM133277857

Question: Having an awareness of diverse psychology and a knowledge of intercultural sensitivity is crucial--but often a challenge for today's therapists. The world has become a much smaller place and people of diverse cultures cannot be treated the same. In order to provide the best treatment to our clients, we must understand that psychotherapy is not "one-size-fits-all."

Using at least two credible outside resources (including your textbook) to support your statements, discuss the importance of preparing counselors and other helping professionals to be culturally competent. Why is this important and how does it impact the client-counselor relationship? How might culture act as a barrier for mental health or social service treatment?

In addition to your general discussion, provide at least three different examples of a situation that requires cultural sensitivity and competence. For example, you could discuss how a female, Hindu client may not respond positively to her therapist when her therapist tells her that she should stand up to her family and refuse to go along with her intended arranged marriage.
