Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important for the interviewer to identify whether the cultural group with which the client is affiliated engages in self-exploration because different cultures may have different views on the role of the therapist and the therapeutic process. Some cultures may value more direct and confrontational interventions, while others may value a more passive listening approach. It is important to understand and respect these cultural differences in order to establish a therapeutic relationship with the client. The use of interpretation may or may not be appropriate depending on the cultural background of the client, and should be used selectively and with cultural sensitivity.
