Study aims: The aims of the present research were to explore and understand psychological therapists’ lived experience of cross-cultural practice, and to identify the successful elements as well as the difficulties of cross-cultural therapeutic work.ĭesign: Seven practising psychological therapists (four White British and three African-Caribbean) were interviewed about their cross-cultural work using a semi-structured format. In particular, research is lacking on how psychological therapists experience cross-cultural practice in an unlike racial and cultural dyad. Research suggests that psychological therapists are not adequately prepared or trained to practice cross-culturally, even though multicultural competence is recognised as a key component of mental health policy and professional codes of conduct. Background: England has a multicultural society and so, health professionals will engage with clients from culturally and racially diverse backgrounds.
