Recommended: Cultural identity

Reflect on the experience of completing the Understanding Your Own Problems worksheet. Did you find aspects challenging, helpful, enlightening? Prior to completing the culturagram, I completed the cultural self assessment. Through completing the assessment I reflected and explored my cultural heritage, worldview orientation, and assessed aspects of my worldview that are not congruent with the dominate cultures’ worldview, those that are incongruent, and explored my self-identifications. The application of cultragrams in the therapeutic setting, when working with diverse clients, is valuable. This process enhanced my self-awareness and prepared me to openly consider the experiences of the person selected for the culturagram assignment.

  • Influences of My Personal Counseling Philosophy

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    ¬When considering what my own personal philosophy of counseling would be, it was eye opening to consider who I was a person and how much I have grown. The self analysis was new to me because I never thought about how I do that on a day to day basis. Reviewing the questions I found that a lot of my focus surrounded family, my significant other, and close friends. Constantly living in a diverse population and having that as my surrounding also made its mark in my answers. I also noted that both past and present influences, but primarily the present, play a large role in my own perspective. By following the prompt, I was made to understand that my thought process makes me think of what is occurring in the present and how I can alter these happenings to help shape the future that I want.

  • Cultural Considerations in Psychological Assessment

    1395 Words  | 3 Pages

    When working with clients of diverse background and cultures, it is important for counselors to be conscious of this fact during assessment and subsequent counseling. Due to fact that much of Western psychology and counseling theories and approaches stem from a White, European viewpoint, experiences and symptoms of marginalized groups are also evaluated by this same perspective (Sue & Sue, 2016). Furthermore, Hays (2015) stated, “psychological assessment involves standardized procedures that have been developed and shaped by dominant culture, which largely ignores or dismisses cultural influences. As a result, cultural questions and consideration are commonly left out,” (p. 128).

This helped a lot as I could see the actual solution to the problems, and other’s perspective and point of views to solve a problem in mathematics.

    The self-awareness assessment was probably the most useful for me out of them all. One of the questions asked was “I feel in charge of what happens to me, good and bad”. When I first answered the question I gave myself a 6 because I completely felt in the beginning that everything that happens in like to me is completely up to me, I determine if I do well in school, work or in relationships and the route that I personally take in these positions in life are going to determine my success. However, after beginning to understanding what it really means to be self-aware I’ve noticed I can be to narrow minded preventing me from working effectively on teams, my attitude toward not asking for help, other opinions then only doing what I think is right could lead to my dismay. I’ve made it appoint to being more open to bringing others into my decision

  • Cultural Differences In Health Care

    250 Words  | 1 Pages

    Each day, nurses or other healthcare providers, encounter a wide range of patients that may look, talk, think, or act differently than themselves. This variance is shown by the many diverse backgrounds and cultures that make up the human race. Although the definition of culture cannot be condensed to a single definition, culture can be understood as a complex makeup of each person’s social, personal, and environmental experiences that effect their outlook and produces certain actions (Edberg, 2012). Therefore, this will produce a wide range of patients that will each have a unique view of health and wellness. Not only is it important for healthcare providers to understand diverse cultures and practices so that they may adequately care for patients

  • Reflective Essay: Ethnic Minority Therapy

    As a clinician I feel that self-awareness is crucial in a therapeutic session. Hence, I try to be attuned to my client. As an ethnic minority therapist, I believe in being respectful of other’s culture and values. Understanding the client’s view point through their cultural lens is needed in therapy. At times, therapists from cultures different from the client’s may interpret the latter’s viewpoints based on their own cultural background. In such a situation, a therapist should let the client know what his or her interpretation is and ask the client to reflect on the counselor’s interpretation. The art of therapy lies in integrating the belief system of the client and the cultural understanding of the counselor and presenting it to the client.

  • Diversity In Nursing

    582 Words  | 2 Pages

    The increasing diversity of the nation brings opportunities and challenges for nurses, providers, health care delivery systems, and policy makers to create and deliver culturally competent services. The ethnocentric approaches used in the past to care for patients are ineffective in meeting health and nursing needs of diverse cultural groups of patients. Knowledge about cultures and its impact on interactions with health care is essential for nurses. Knowing a patient’s culture helps nurses to be aware of the person’s customs, beliefs, and faith. It helps nurses in understanding a patient’s experience with illness, suffering, and death. Knowing a patient’s culture helps strengthen a nurse's commitment to the nurse-patient relationship, focusing on the whole person rather than viewing the patient as pieces of symptoms or illnesses. It helps a nurse to be respectful, understanding, and open minded to non-traditional treatments, such as spiritually based therapies like meditation and Shamanism. Cultural diversity can strengthen, bring about positive outcomes and broaden the health care delivery systems (Green et al.,
