Habla Mi Idioma? An Exploratory Review of Working Systemically with People from Diverse Cultures: An Australian Perspective

“…Therapists may inadvertently assume that people from different cultures relate to the world in the same way as they do, and consequently believe they should meet the needs of their clients based on their own perspective (Raheim et al, 2004). This may involve an erroneous belief that ‘if I view it, or experience it in this manner, so will the other’ (Amorin‐Woods, 2016a, 2016b, 2020; Ho, Matthews‐Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2004). Cultural biases and insensitivity may often be due to therapists’ experiences of ‘discomfort’ in cross‐cultural interactions with their clients, which leads to avoidance or bypassing of cultural issues (Stampley & Slaght, 2004; Utsey, Gernat, & Hammar, 2005).…”

“…My real‐world clinical experiences were confirmed when I conducted an informal literature review to investigate the available evidence in this space. Whilst I discovered a body of work describing this dissonance (Costa, 2010; Dewaele & Costa, 2013; Falicov, 1995), there was a dearth of Australian literature about ways to address this issue (Amorin‐Woods, 2020).…”

“…From the beginning of my own career the use of self has been a core aspect of my work with clients. I draw on my own ethnicity and cultural background as tools to reach and connect with people, including those from diverse cultural backgrounds in increasing understanding and to broaden resources available to them (Amorin‐Woods, 2020). The creative work from both Harry and Maurizio has guided and enhanced my work in this area.…”

“…There is a ubiquitous tendency in healthcare and tertiary education to adopt a generic approach of cultural transference which assumes customs, feelings, experiences and perspectives can be replicated across cultures due to culturally held assumptions and worldviews of providers and educators (Ho et al, 2004). In other words, there is an erroneous belief that "if I view it or experience it in this manner, so will the other" (Amorin- Woods, 2016aWoods, , 2016bWoods, , 2020. Guidelines for multicultural approaches in teaching and therapeutic approaches which fail to provide cultural sensitivity in practice run the risk of providing services that are themselves discriminatory (D. Amorin-Woods, 2020; Ridley et al, 2000).…”
