Abstract
This chapter presents a rationale for culturally responsive practice and interventions. Research on clinical approaches with diverse clients is reviewed. The author discusses the clinical significance of social and cultural factors in terms of distress expression, attribution, and treatment approaches. The influence of contextual factors such as acculturation, discrimination, and culture-related stressors on psychosocial functioning and therapy are examined. The author defines culturally responsive approaches and discusses their clinical significance in meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse population.
