Why is it important for clinicians to assess and explore issues of social class? Give examples.
What will be an ideal response?
Because social class affects functioning, worldview, lifestyle, behaviors, life expectancy, access to resources, risks for illnesses, life cycle sequences, and expectations, among others. Social class is an important dimension of intragroup differences (i.e., may be a more important factor than ethnicity). The intersection of social class with other variables is also important to consider. It is important to help clients understand that their social class socialization affects their identity and functioning.
