СКАЧАТЬ may prove biased against diverse client groups. For the therapist who comes from a middle‐ to upper‐class background, it is often difficult to relate to the circumstances affecting the client who lives in poverty. The phenomenon of poverty and its effects on individuals and institutions can be devastating. The lack of bilingual therapists and the requirement that clients communicate in Standard English may also limit progress in counseling and therapy. If bilingual individuals do not use their native tongue, many aspects of their emotional experience may not be available for treatment.

      Family systems theory, while seemingly consistent with the collectivistic orientation of many diverse groups, may be equally culture‐bound, as may be manifested in marital or couple counseling, parent–child counseling, or work with more than one member of a family. For example, many Western beliefs and assumptions about healthy families may be incongruent with diverse groups, including: (a) placing a high premium on the free and open expression of emotion; (b) encouraging family members to prioritize their own unique selves above the family; (c) striving for an equal division of labor and authority among family members; and (d) holding the nuclear family as the standard.
