Research the role of cultural norms in identifying mental disorders. Based on
your research, respond to the following:
Why is culture an important consideration in the interview, assessment, and
diagnostic process?
How might your own cultural, ethnic, or family values, rules, or traditions
be misinterpreted as “abnormal” by someone from a dissimilar background? Give
examples in your answer.
Please keep in mind the role of culture when considering the best treatment
approach for mental illness For example, I was raised in a working class family in which an unwritten rule
was to avoid discussing concerns of the family with individuals outside of the
family unit. It would be necessary to be aware of such a working-class tendency
if providing family therapy in a clinical environment.
