Throughout the length of this course, you are going to be working toward creating a Zoom interview with a licensed therapist in the field having a different culture than your own. For the first phase of this assignment, please create a list of questions that you will use to prepare for the recorded Zoom interview assigned later in this course. Please include the following in your questioning: How and why the practitioner uses the DSM An overview of the background of the practitioner to be interviewed (place, education, work history) An inquiry on the practitioner’s theoretical orientation (theory they come from; theory of where peoples' mental health issues come from) Culture/worldview (culture/worldview and how it impacts the way the practitioner works) How does the NASW Code of Ethics "dignity and worth of the person" and/or Christian viewpoint of human value and dignity impact their work as a social worker? Inquire regarding stigma (understanding of stigma, how they fight it, how they approach it; unconscious bias and extrapolate) Ask how they see diversity, generally, and as it plays a role in their practice (in relation to clientele, the population they serve, how culture and all of these factor into their approach; research understanding; cultural humility; contemplate immersion into a different culture) How do they evaluate their treatment for efficacy? While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
