Section Five: Applications in Clinical Service Delivery

Providing appropriate communication care requires us to consider multi-cultural, cross-cultural, multi-linguistic, cross-linguistic, universal, and individual elements.

“Multi-” means many. “Cross-” is your bridge from yourself to one other specific client. And we balance our understanding of human universals with our understanding of individuals’ specific needs.
