When working with a new client whose ethnicity differs from the clinician, what should the clinician ask him/herself?
  1. Do I understand the client’s cultural values and norms?
  2. Do I have stereotypical views of this client’s culture that may interfere in the therapeutic process?
  3. Do I speak the client’s primary language?
  4. A and B
Explanation
Answer - D - A clinician can ask him/herself if they have an accurate understanding of the client’s cultural normal and values. This knowledge can prevent misunderstandings and help guide the clinician in assisting the client in ways that are therapeutically helpful. Being aware of our own worldview, acknowledging we may hold stereotyped information about certain cultures, and examining this when beginning work with a client ensures these thoughts/beliefs do not create misunderstanding and barriers to the counseling process.
