As the therapist working with a patient from another culture, professionally it is recommended you do which of the following?
a) Ask the individual how he or she feels about working with you and if you should know anything specific regarding their cultural beliefs that would impact treatment
b) Automatically refer patient to a provider of the same or similar culture.
c) Research the individual's culture and let the patient know you are an expert in that culture so they do not need to inform you of their beliefs.
d) Explains your own culture to the patient so they can conform to that belief during the office visits.
