This involves recognizing one’s personal biases and overcoming them. For example, I am a Christian and have been raised with many of the traditional Christian beliefs, so coming into the field and work of psychology has caused me to not just explore and find value in other religious backgrounds, but also question and adjust some of my own. One of the biggest issues was that of homosexuality; I thought it was wrong, frowned upon, and a sure-fire way to get a ticket to Hell. This is what I was taught, sadly enough, but in encountering new information and new people, I could no longer allow myself to think that way. This was a personal bias I had to overcome, and it allowed me to grow as a person and an individual. As a mental health professional, it is imperative to be able to set aside personal beliefs and biases to help the clients and consumers that are encounter. This includes developing and using effective intervention strategies that are appropriate to the client’s culture.

For the most part, the job of a counselor is not to fix or change a child or family’s culture, it is to address a need. On the contrasting side, the families I encounter as a foster care worker often require a change in their family values and practices in order to be an effective family unit. Culture is based on both experiences and beliefs, and many beliefs are based on experiences. Considering this, a history of abuse and/or neglect can easily become a cultural tendency for a family to have this same behavior repeated throughout generations. I have seen this trend in many of the families I work with. Intervention strategies for the types of families vary greatly, and in some cases, there may be a need for intensive services. Some parents may never improve their parenting practices because many of these parents have put in place so many defense mechanisms so they are unable to acknowledge the truth.
