Different ways MFT has approached working with a diverse clientele According to D’Aniello et al. (2016), cultural sensitivity is an awareness, understanding, and a genuine response to the needs and feelings of others. D’Aniello et al. (2016) state that the ways in which MFTs can apply cultural sensitivity to their work with others are: Genograms Creating education with an intensive focus on culture to assist workers/students in understanding Activities that allow workers/students to understand and address their own biases Groups Offering educational materials Taking courses that increase knowledge and understanding D’Aniello et al. (2016) also suggest that therapies such as the Satir model are, by nature, thoughtful and respectful of different cultures. Though D’Aniello et al. (2016) make a point to share that while this model may be more culturally sensitive, it does not account for the personal involvement of the clinician. What is cultural humility? Abbott et al. (2019) define cultural humility as a method that entails transparency, consciousness, lack of self-importance, and positive engagement with other persons, while also being able to self-assess. I believe cultural humility is being able to ask questions of others to better understand their culture without assigning our own beliefs. It is willing to be educated while taking a not- knowing stance. According to Abbot et al. (2019), the best way to do this is by continuing throughout one’s life to work to educate the self and others, staying committed to having those experiences and conversations while also understanding you are not the foremost knowledgeable about a culture with which you do not belong. Concept for integration Much like Abbot et al. (2019), I liked the idea of professionals admitting that the history of studies may not include differing cultural tenets and considering another possible technique is essential. This is important for many reasons. It allows people to view and be educated on something that is not necessarily familiar, which helps them be open to and mindful of various possibilities regarding treatment. Abbott et al. (2019) also share that this allows professors to include differing educational materials for their learners. When things are different or opposite of what we know, we grow as individuals and can share that with others.

Scenario with “difference” causing a reaction The thing that I could see as difficult is understanding the person utilizing the pronouns they and them. I could see myself having to apologize a great deal to those who identify as nonbinary persons. According to Matsuno et al. (2022), nonbinary persons are at least one-third of the genderless or multigender community. Matsuno et al. (2022) state research may suggest that the community may be at a higher risk for mental health concerns. This could mean that as this society is learning to adapt, there will be an increase in working with families where one or more persons identify in this way. That shows the need for education in the field. How could this be addressed? Matsuno et al. (2022) suggest that as therapists, the first thing to do would be to determine possible genderless or multi-gendered pressures using communications and testing that helps to identify them. Matsuno et al. (2022) also suggest that as a therapist, it is crucial to acknowledge the unenlightened or uninformed state and work to improve understanding and address bias to keep from mistitling, disrespecting, and encumbering another. Also, Matsuno et al. (2022) detail that information that can educate others, such as studies similar to their own, can only help improve the treatment and respect of those individuals.
