Practical Adaptations of Cognitive Processing Therapy with Bosnian Refugees: Implications for Adapting Practice to a Multicultural Clientele
Schulz, Priscilla M.; Huber, L. Christian; Resick, Patricia A.
Cognitive and Behavioral Practice, v13 n4 p310-321 Nov 2006
Recent findings suggest that established psychological treatments for PTSD are effective for diverse populations, including war refugees who have experienced multiple and severe losses, deprivations, hardships, and atrocities. Treating non-English-speaking traumatized refugees requires the clinician to overcome linguistic and various cultural dissimilarities with clients that complicate effective engagement. Examples of clinical adaptations for Bosnian clients are presented along with a discussion of the client's and therapist's relationship to the larger service delivery system. (Contains 1 figure.)
