Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most European and U.S. psychotherapies are based upon an individualistic cultural orientation where the focus is on the individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, rather than a collectivistic cultural orientation where the focus is on the group or community. This can create challenges for individuals from collectivistic cultures, who may prioritize the needs of the group over their own needs and may not be comfortable with the self-focused nature of therapy in these cultures.
