Cultural competency in mental health service delivery has gained considerable momentum, raising questions about its meaning, usefulness, and precision. The author argues that cultural competency comprises general processes—scientific mindedness, dynamic sizing, and culture‑specific skills—alongside concrete, trainable strategies. These processes and strategies are intended to be operationalized and integrated into clinical practice. Incorporating these processes and strategies into treatment can improve outcomes for clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Abstract Cultural competency in the delivery of mental health services has gained considerable momentum. This momentum has been accompanied by questions about the meaning, usefulness, and precision of cultural competency. The author argues that cultural competency is composed of general processes (scientific mindedness, dynamic sizing, and culture‐specific skills), as well as a series of concrete and trainable strategies. The incorporation of these processes and strategies into treatment can improve treatment outcomes with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
