Section Five: Applications in Clinical Service Delivery

We have been laying our groundwork of principles, models, standards, metaphors, requirements, and thought processes. Now it’s time to apply those pieces to your work in clinical service!

Section Five describes a crucial distinction between “multi-” and “cross-”, and then addresses four very different kinds of clinical situations: multi-cultural, cross-cultural, multi-linguistic, and cross-linguistic. They are all different, and they are all important.

“Multi-” means many. “Cross-” is your bridge from yourself to one other specific client.
The “Yes And” strategy, and presenting ourselves to future clients in welcoming ways
Strategies for screening, assessment, and intervention with multi-cultural groups
Building one bridge to meet the cultural needs of one client who differs from you
Sometimes you need many languages. Sometimes your client needs a specific language.
