Culture influences all aspects of occupation. As the U.S. population becomes increasingly diverse, becoming a culturally competent and effective practitioner is crucial for client-centered practice and improved health outcomes. This new and timely edition of the bestselling Culture and Occupation provides comprehensive approach to understanding culture; cultural effectiveness in clinical and community practice, education, and research; and evaluating cultural effectiveness.
Both theoretical and practical, this relevant, new text explores the sociopolitical structures that reinforce health disparities and provides guidance for client interactions. The Model for Cultural Effectiveness, introduced in this edition, helps practitioners, researchers, educators, and students develop self-awareness, understand power, attain cultural knowledge, improve cross-cultural skills, and create a plan for effectiveness and reflection. Throughout the text, thoughtful reflective questions challenge readers to consider their own cultural positions and ways in which they can better interact with others and promote occupational justice.
