Culture is an inherent and dynamic aspect of every psychotherapeutic encounter. This presentation explores psychotherapy through a cultural lens, identifying transtheoretical, meta-theoretical, and intra-theoretical cultural dimensions of various schools of psychotherapy. A cultural contextual formulation approach will be introduced to complement the DSM-5-TR Outline for Cultural Formulation, incorporating the Cultural Values, Relationships, and Function framework. Practical examples will illustrate how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based psychotherapy can be adapted to explicitly consider cultural factors. Additionally, the role of psychosocial interventions in addressing sociocultural conflicts and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues—such as racism—will be examined.
By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to: 1. Identify transtheoretical, meta-theoretical, and intra-theoretical cultural dimensions across different psychotherapeutic models.
2. Develop a Cultural Contextual Formulation using the Cultural Values, Relationships, and Function framework.
3. Apply psychotherapy strategies to effectively address sociocultural conflicts and DEI-related challenges in clinical practice.
