Ethnic clients' class, cultural, and language experiences are examined in terms of their implications for therapy. Directive, informal, and modified therapeutic approaches are effective in working with minority clients. Therapists are warned against ignoring intragroup cultural differences in their search for inter group differences. Machismo and folk beliefs are critically examined in brief. Bilingualism, language switching, and choice in psychotherapy are analyzed. The political nature of varied psychotherapeutic approaches is examined.
