Study Notes
Chapter 11: Culture - A Challenge to Concepts of Normality
- Culture is integral to the healing process in psychotherapy, impacting worldview, self-perception, and understanding of reality (McGoldrick & Hardy, 2008; Smith, 2010; Sue & Sue, 2008).
- Cultural values and norms inform psychological theories of human development, family systems, and healing (Carter, 2003; Ponterotto, Casas, Suzuki, & Alexander, 2010).
- Examples, Eastern cultures emphasize social interconnectedness and empathy development, whereas Western cultures focus on individual autonomy and functioning. African American cultures, for instance, prioritize communal identity.
- Traditional therapeutic models are often portrayed as culturally neutral, but these models reflect social assumptions which may be biased.
- Family rules and patterns are deeply rooted in cultural norms.
- Cultural influences on emotional functioning are often explored in anthropological studies of non-European cultures.
- Professional associations acknowledge the role of culture in their ethical codes and standards, requiring practitioners to become culturally competent.
- Interventions congruent with client values can improve outcomes in terms of retention and satisfaction (Griner & Smith, 2006).
- Feminist and cultural perspectives challenge traditional, patriarchal, white, middle-class, heterosexual family models.
- While acknowledging multiculturalism, the dominant culture's perspective on "normality" is often imposed, and cultural differences often associated with "otherness" rather than strengths.
- Discussions of ethnicity frequently focus on deficits or "otherness" instead of strengths.
- Culture organizes family patterns, structure, values, beliefs, norms, and practices.
Addressing Culture: Diversity and Complexity
- Culture is an ongoing social context that influences thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
- Cultural identity is determined by ancestry, race, class, gender, sexual identity/orientation, religion, generation, migration, etc.
- Culture impacts well-being, mental, physical, and spiritual health.
- Ethnicity is a complex construct of shared ancestry with values, beliefs, etc, passed down intergenerationally.
- Culture shapes interactions among members inside and outside the family, influencing relationships and well-being.
Migration Experience
- Migration history influences cultural values (Falicov, 2011).
- Reason for migration, duration, and discrimination impact family's heritage and generational adaptation.
- Parents' attitudes/fears during migration affect family messages, and well-being
- Families experience trauma in migration, shaping family dynamics.
- Adaptation to new situations differs depending on whether a whole community or individuals migrated.
Not Romanticizing Culture
- Cultural values and beliefs are not necessarily sacrosanct; some cultural practices are unethical.
- Interventions should be culturally sensitive and avoid imposing universal standards.
- Cultural groups have diverse perspectives on what defines problems and approaches to solutions.
Clinical Practice Guidelines
- Cultural differences exist both between and within groups.
- Assumptions about cultural norms should be questioned and verified to avoid imposing "normality" based on dominant group perspectives.
- Cultural competence involves self-reflection to avoid biases and acknowledge own cultural influences.
- Language influences cultural context.
- Importance of understanding family members' cultural backgrounds.
- Clinicians can use questions about ethnicity, religion etc to assess family context and worldview.
