Lessons from Cross-cultural Psychotherapy
Abstract
The author identifies the effective technical aspects of cross-cultural psychotherapy: appropriate use of the medical model, recognition of nonverbal communication, and sensitivity to the subjective aspects of the patient’s life. These approaches, when used with self-awareness and flexibility, can aid in the psychotherapeutic work with patients whose socioeconomic status, life style, ethnic origin or sexual orientation differs from that of the psychiatrist.
