“…In understanding some of the relevant dimensions of an individual's cultural identity, Hays (2008) has provided a useful heuristic, known by the acronym ADDRESSING, that includes aspects of a person's (1) Age and generational influences, (2) Developmental and acquired Disabilities, (3) Religion and spiritual orientation, (4) Ethnicity, (5) Socioeconomic status, (6) Sexual orientation, (7) Indigenous heritage, (8) National origin, and (9) Gender. Race, which refers to the social construction of categorizing people into groups on the basis of physical characteristics, is also an important component of one's identity, particularly given the effects that racism can have on a person's sense of self and beliefs about others (cf.…”

A growing body of research suggests that mindfulness- and acceptance-based principles can increase efforts aimed at reducing human suffering and increasing quality of life. A critical step in the development and evaluation of these new approaches to treatment is to determine the acceptability and efficacy of these treatments for clients from nondominant cultural and/or marginalized backgrounds. This special series brings together the wisdom of clinicians and researchers who are currently engaged in clinical practice and treatment research with populations who are historically underrepresented in the treatment literature. As an introduction to the series, this paper presents a theoretical background and research context for the papers in the series, highlights the elements of mindfulness- and acceptance-based treatments that may be congruent with culturally responsive treatment, and briefly outlines the general principles of cultural competence and responsive treatment. Additionally, the results of a meta-analysis of mindfulness- and acceptance-based treatments with clients from nondominant cultural and/or marginalized backgrounds are presented. Our search yielded 32 studies totaling 2,198 clients. Results suggest small (Hedges' g=.38, 95% CI=.11 − .64) to large (Hedges' g=1.32, 95% CI=.61 − 2.02) effect sizes for mindfulness- and acceptance-based treatments, which varied by study design.

“…A useful framework for conceptualizing the diverse identities that individuals possess is the ADDRESSING model (Hays, 2001(Hays, ,2007. Hays suggests that clients be described across the following dimensions: Age, Disabiliry (acquired), Disabiliry (developmental), Religion, Ethniciry, Sexual orientation, Socioeconomic status, Indigenous heritage, National origin, and Gender.…”

As our capacity for communication with nations across the globe increases through the advances of technology, our interactions with others with different worldviews also become more frequent. This exposure to diversity on so many levels requires a better understanding of the multiple contexts in which people from different cultural backgrounds live and the strengths they possess that help them experience well-being. In order to define the characteristics that may be viewed as strengths in different groups, we must make efforts to remember that cultural rules and norms often dictate what can be called a strength versus a weakness. It is imperative that we are able to recognize that strengths may look very different in different contexts and that these diverse manifestations may come from a variety of worldviews. More work must be done in order to develop a better understanding of the way that cultural context plays a role In the operationalization, manifestation, and measurement of strengths in diverse groups. The following chapter provides a history ofthe connections between culture and positive psychology and discusses current issues regarding the link between cultural context anlvarious personal characteristics. Examples from culturally sensitive positive psychological theory and research are also given in order to illustrate how researchers are better exploring positive psychology within a cultural context. Keywords: culture, strengths. positive psychology. contextThe good citizen is a "citizen of the world .. ." thinking about humanity as it is realized in the whole world is valuable for self-knowledge: we see ourselves and our customs more clearly when we see our own ways in relation to those of others. (Nussbaum, 1997, p. 59) As nations become more and more diverse across the world, and as we interact more frequently through trade, collaboration, and advances of technology, it becomes necessary to include a discussion of cultural context in studying any human variant. Discussions of culture fit naturally within the field of psychology at large, and particularly well within the area of positive psychology and its concentration on strength as important to, and present within, the lives of all individuals. Positive psychologists have begun to recognize this importance over the last few decades and have begun to attempt to build a community "where the word 'equality' can truly be applied to the abilities of all citizens to pursue their goals" (Lopez et aI., 2000, p. 238). In discussing strengths and virtues, it becomes imperative to define these variables within the appropriate cultural context, however, and to view their diverse manifestations from a variety of viewpoints.In this chapter, we examine a variety of frameworks that can be used to understand and foster healthy functioning. We will review a brief history 49 of the way in which culture and positive psychology fit together, and cover current debates about the level of importance it plays today in the field. We also will describe exemplars ...

Despite increased attention to multiculturalism in clinical practice, clinicians frequently struggle with applying multicultural guidelines offered by the American Psychological Association and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV). The authors provide specific tools and practical methods for assessing culture during intake procedures and argue for the integration of social identity assessment into the DSM-V interview. We begin by evaluating the DSM-IV's cultural formulation guideUnes, and we provide 4 cultural principles regarding patients' and clinicians' social identities, intersectionality, and the cultural context of therapy. We encourage clinicians to consider privilege, oppression, and intersectionality in all clinical exchanges. We then evaluate the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, Clinician Version (SCID-CV) Overview to identity biases and neglected social identities, and we present the Patient Social Identity Assessment. Next, we present a dining module enabling clinicians to utilize this measure without reifying problematic trends in cultural formulation and underscore the importance of therapist self-assessment of privileged identities. We conclude with guidelines when integrating social identity assessment into intake procedures across treatment settings.
