Discussion: Mental Health Diagnosis and Culture (Title of work
#1)
Cultures vary in their approach to addressing individuals living
with a mental illness. As a clinical social worker, it can
sometimes be difficult to differentiate an unhealthy behavior
from a cultural belief. A certain behavior by an individual that
is acceptable in his or her culture may seem abnormal or
unhealthy by an individual from another culture.
Another important aspect in understanding the culture of an
individual living with a mental illness is stigmatization. In some

2. cultures, the individual is no longer accepted and thus becomes
isolated. Most times this is due to a lack of understanding of
mental illness and underlying cultural beliefs within the
population. This is when cultural competence skills become
critical when working with individuals living with a mental
illness.
As a clinical social worker, you need to be cognizant of the fact
that people from different cultures have different viewpoints
about mental illness. This will help you form effective
relationships with the clients and their family members from
various cultures and produce effective interventions.
For this Discussion, search the library for an article on cultural
factors relevant to addressing mental illness and analyze the
approach provided in the article. Then consider how you as a
social worker might apply cultural competence when working
with clients with a mental illness. Refer to the “Cultural
Formulation Interview” in the DSM-5 while considering
applying cultural competence when working with clients with a
mental illness. Finally, consider the types of barriers you might
encounter when working with a client from a different culture
when addressing a mental health diagnosis.

Answer in a brief summary of the article you selected and

you, as a social worker, might utilize the “Cultural Formulation
Interview” in the DSM-5 to apply cultural competence skills
when working with clients who need help managing a mental

3. illness. Finally, explain how acculturation affects an individual
psychologically and socioculturally and describe a strategy you
would implement as a social worker to help with the process.
