Your Story Counseling offers individual, couples and family trauma and sex therapy counseling for a variety of needs.
The study of cultural factors in the application of psychotherapy across cultures - ethnopsychotherapy - is a newly emerging field. Western cultural values are argued to underpin cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as other modern psychosocial interventions developed in the West. Therefore, attempts have been made to culturally adapt CBT for patients from ethnic minorities in the West and local non-Western populations. Some frameworks have been designed based on the individual experiences of therapists, but this article describes a framework that has evolved from a series of qualitative studies on the cultural adaptation of CBT and that has been field-tested in randomized controlled trials. We describe the process of adaptation, the details of the methods used and the areas that need to be focused on in order to adapt CBT to a given culture. Further research is needed to advance this area, but cultural adaptation alone cannot improve outcomes. Access to evidence-based psychosocial interventions, including CBT, needs to be improved for culturally tailored interventions to reach their full potential.
