Cultural Competence in Addiction Psychiatry
Addictive Disorders & Their Treatment , 09/04/06
Westermeyer, Joseph MD, MPH, PhD, et al. - Clinicians should consider their attitudes toward their own ethnic background and substance use. Cultural concepts useful in care of addiction include norm conflict, deviance-versus-pathology, emic-etic distinctions, ceremonial-versus-secular substance use, and cultural change. Relevant skills include taking a culture history, assessing cultural transference and countertransference, assessing and working with the patient's intimate social network, and considering cultural factors in pharmacotherapy and psychosocial therapies
