One of the consequences of not appropriately addressing a family’s cultural issues may be:
  1. More focus on the clinical problem so that a solution can be worked out
  2. Nothing will happen; culture will have little to do with their issue
  3. Alienation of the individuals who have come seeking help
  4. Failure to make progress given resistance to some methods
Explanation
Answer - C - The family will likely be open to many methods. The issues arise when they begin to feel alienated by the therapist, or another individual coming from a relatively dominant culture. Feeling dominated will often lead ethnic and cultural minorities to shut down. Keeping an open, welcoming mind is always important.
