Ethics & Multicultural Issues in Psychology

Case Study Overview
Because her parents won't let her date, Gwen, a 19-year-old
woman, seeks help from a therapist. As a result of her
parents being Indian, dating is often discouraged in India,
where her family comes from. Her parents are already
talking about finding Gwen a life partner, and they don't
think she should have an input on the topic. Lack of
motivation, insomnia, and a lack of appetite have been
Gwen’s latest complaints. She has also been feeling tired all
the time.
Case Study Bias
When I say that the major objective of the treatment is to
help her develop autonomy and make her voice heard
inside the family, there is a cultural contradiction. Gwen’s
lack of assertiveness in the family is my biggest concern.
Gwen seemed to have lost faith in my capacity to assist her,
and I don't know why.
Main Points of Cultural
Difference
(your name) Gwen
• Individualist • Collectivist
• Belief in equality
within the family
• Respect for the
authority of the
head of the family
• Goals seek self-
achievement
• Goals must
coincide with family
values

Clients
Examining the philosophical foundations of a culture is
one way to achieve intercultural responsiveness
(Achenbach, 2017).
The family is highly respected in Indian culture for its
position of dominance.
Having the support of her family is critical to Gwen’s
decision-making process.
In therapy, Gwen’s collective thought should not be
disputed, rather it should be included into the process.
Best Practice for Working With Indian
Clients
Analysis of cultural relevance in psychotherapy serves as
another key method for developing intercultural
responsibility (Davis et al., 2018).
Because I don't comprehend Gwen’s needs, the cultural
differences between us are crucial.
Gwen’s health may be jeopardized if she does not have
enough cultural competency.
Rather than criticizing Gwen’s respect for authority, one
should discuss her respect for her family.
Best Practice for Working With Indian
Clients
Only by adapting healthcare procedures to meet the
cultural requirements of clients can we attain multicultural
responsiveness (Achenbach, 2017).
I have to keep in mind Gwen’s desire to please her family.
In order to attend Gwen, I'll have to adopt culturally
suitable strategies.
If you want to include Gwen, you'll need to set objectives
that are consistent with her beliefs.
Conclusion
The whole diagnostic and therapeutic procedure might be
jeopardized by cultural disparities between the practitioner and
the patient.
Cultural differences may be addressed in a variety of ways by a
clinical psychologist, such as:
Assumptions about culture should be examined.
Look at the role that culture plays in the healthcare setting.
Consider cultural factors while making clinical decisions.
Only cultural responsiveness can adequately deal with Gwen’s
situation.
