Culturally-Specific Contextualism in Evidence-Based Treatments: Enhancing Outcomes for BIPOC
Evidence-based treatment strategies are said to help clients see better outcomes in efficient amounts of time; however, in observing that many evidence-based treatments were tested on populations that were not racially or ethnically diverse, therapists may need to consider how to better situate evidence-based practice within the contexts of these communities.
This lecture will examine therapeutic approaches and treatment adaptations that prioritize contextualism and cultural humility, and explore how these strategies can potentially enhance treatment in ethnically diverse communities.
