Summary Introduction

Introduction

Culture refers to the traditions, beliefs, values, and norms of people belonging to a particular group or country. In modern times, people from different cultures tend to coexist together in one country, and therefore, it is essential for therapists to be culturally sensitive to the unique needs, beliefs, and attitudes of people belonging to each of the different cultures. This helps to provide effective treatment. However, this approach has been successful in treating almost any type of psychological disorder as it is an essential element, which acts as an aid to the therapy process.
