The Cultural Self as Locus for Assessment and Intervention with American Indians/Alaska Natives
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development
(2000)
Abstract
The author compares mental health services from Anglo-American and Native perspectives, focusing on the cultural self as a suggested locus for greater credibility and increased use of these services. Cultural competence is recommended as a model for community-specific policy for the design and implementation of services to increase the probability of generalization to various tribal settings. Cultural competence of Anglo-American providers with this population is discussed.
