About this Course Module
This lecture focuses on the cultural issues within PTSD treatment,
specifically with some of the Asian-American and Pacific Islander
ethnicities. Levels of cultural competence are discussed, as well as
how mental health treatment is perceived among Hawaiian, Samoan,
Chamorran, Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino cultures. Suggestions for
building rapport and communication (which also allow for sensitivity to
possible norms and values of each of these cultures) is also
presented.
Goal: To expand a PTSD therapist/counselor's
knowledge regarding levels of cultural sensitivity, and to introduce
culturally-based aspects of communication and family dynamics to
enhance therapy interventions with clients of Asian-American and/or
Pacific Island cultures.
Objectives: After viewing the presentation, the
participant will be able to:
- Relate the continuum of cultural competence
- Recognize the role of family for each of the cultures highlighted from the lecture
- Restate some of the beliefs about mental health for each of the cultures discussed in the lecture
- Report suggested methods of building rapport among each of the cultures discussed in the lecture
