Discover a culturally competent model of clinical case management
in mental health practice settings. In The Cross-Cultural Practice
of Clinical Case Management, author Peter Manoleas synthesizes some
of the existent thinking on case management in cross-cultural
psychotherapy settings and develops an effective model of clinical
case management for mental health practitioners. The
person-in-environment approach leads mental health professionals to
realize that case managers and their clients must deal with a
variety of cultures within the treatment environment.
Rehabilitation programs, substance abuse programs, public
assistance, the police, and especially psychiatry itself, are each
characterized by their own 'cultures.'These may, at times, conflict
with or present significant dissonance with the client's own ethnic
culture. The Cross-Cultural Practice of Clinical Case Management
advocates that the role of "culture broker" be added to the list of
activities for effective clinical case managers. Several of the
major ethnic groups represented in public mental health populations
are examined, as well as other topics relevant to the daily
practice of mental health professionals: Effective cross-cultural
crisis intervention The culture of homelessness Women and the
mental health system Asians and Pacific Islanders Latinos African
Americans Native Americans Seriously Emotionally Disturbed
ChildrenThe Cross-Cultural Practice of Clinical Case Management is
of interest to practicing mental health professionals in the public
sector as those systems convert from individual therapy to case
management models of service delivery. Increasing numbers of ethnic
minorities in public systems and the emphasis on cultural
competence will make all of the topics of interest to many readers.
