Abstract
In clinical practice today, psychologists are finding that many of their clients are from cultural backgrounds quite different from their own. This is not a startling revelation, because in our culturally complex society, many individuals who have severe psychological problems are just as likely to be from the underclasses (e.g., the poor, ethnic minorities, the growing number of refugees, and the chronically disabled) as they are to be from the more familiar middle class. What is starting, however, is that the theories we are taught, the procedures and techniques we have inherited from the last generation of psychologists, and even the training programs that introduced us to the profession have their roots—indeed, their major thrust—in middle-class values and orientations. Usually, contemporary practitioners or researchers have little preparation for dealing with the “cultural problem” in our professional activities—little beyond the admonition of sage methodologists that we should be wary of our transgressions if we consider using procedures or concepts derived in one culture with clients or problems from another.
