Overview
It is incumbent upon psychologists and other health professionals to broaden their understanding of the multicultural world we live in. A culturally sensitive approach can deepen relationships with friends, colleagues, and clients. Most gratifyingly, it leads to greater rapport and efficacy in our work.
However, to step outside our own paradigm and understand the diverse perspectives of others can feel daunting. Surrounded by misinformation and our own fear of offending, avoidance of cross-cultural work is common.
This eLearning activity provides a first step, utilising the concept of ‘cultural intelligence’ through which to examine our own values, those of other cultures, and strategies for cross-cultural work.
