Multicultural and Ethical Facets of Diagnostic Impression
INTRODUCTION
Culture plays an extremely important role in the treatment of mental health and addictive disorders. According to the DSM-5, “Culture refers to systems of knowledge, concepts, rules, and practices that are learned and transmitted across generations. Culture includes language, religion and spirituality, family structures, life-cycle stages, ceremonial rituals, and customs, as well as moral and legal systems” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). It is essential to include the many different elements of culture that your client presents with so that you are clearly providing culturally competent care for your client and their clinical issues.
