Stephanie is a White female therapist who has just begun working with Toshiko, an Asian American woman. What are two culturally sensitive features of culturally adapted therapy that Stephanie should keep in mind?
What will be an ideal response?
(1) Use of bilingual therapists for non-English-speaking clients. (2) Use of family-focused rather than individual-focused approaches, with respect for the woman’s family ties. (3) Respect for Asian American women who are not verbally or emotionally expressive. (4) Attention to the women’s physical (somatic) complaints as possible reflections of psychological distress, knowing that in Asian culture it is more acceptable to have physical health problems than it is to have mental health problems. (5) Recognition that there may be strong sentiment against feminism within the Asian American community.
