Summary
Culture is the unique customs, values, norms, and language of a society or community. It is constantly evolving to accommodate for changes in the social, political, economic, and environmental atmosphere. It also plays a critical role in how individuals interpret and respond to illness. Transcultural psychiatry has been developed to address the role of understanding and incorporating the role of culture in psychiatry. As the United States becomes more diverse, the application of transcultural psychiatry in clinical practice becomes even more important. There are several tools that clinicians can use to implement transcultural practices, including the Cultural Formulation Interview, CRASH model, HUMBLE model, and LEARN model. However, it is understood that barriers in implementation exist, such as language barriers, training, stereotypes, implicit discrimination, and time. To bridge these obstacles, clinicians should educate themselves about the different models of transcultural care and dedicate attention to adopting these in their personal practices and in their individual clinical teams.
