Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important for a therapist to acknowledge their limitations and seek further training in order to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services to their clients. Ignoring cultural and language differences can lead to misunderstandings and potentially harm the therapeutic relationship. Continuing to practice without the necessary skills or knowledge is not ethical behavior. Pretending to be knowledgeable can also harm the client and is also not ethical behavior.
