How does a cultural belief system influence the effectiveness of therapy? Provide an
example.
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should define what a cultural belief system is and describe its possible
effects on the course of therapy. The answer should note that if the therapist incorporates the
client's belief system into the therapeutic process, therapy is generally more effective. Several
examples of cultural belief systems and their inclusion in therapy are provided in the textbook.
