Culturally Adapted CBT

Cognitive Behavior Therapy is considered the gold standard of psychological care; however, this theory is often criticized for limitations due to the Eurocentric worldview from which it was derived. In this episode of What Therapists Need to Know, Drs. Char Newton and Janeé Steele discuss use of CBT with people of the global majority, including cultural adaptations to transform the therapeutic relationship, assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning. Integration of culturally derived healing practices and liberation frameworks will also be discussed. Moderated by Tatyana Smith.
