“…283-285). Discrimination against women (Cooray and Potrafke, 2011;Gouda and Potrafke 2016) and homosexuals (Berggren et al, 2017) has also been shown to be prevalent in Muslim societies. Berggren et al (2018) document that these negative attitudes persist even among second-generation immigrants from Muslim countries, although they were born and raised in Western societies.…”

“…This hypothesis is given empirical support in and. Somewhat relatedly, Voigt (2015, 2018) andGouda and Potrafke (2016) find indications that legislation in states where Islam has a strong position tends to discriminate women and protect minorities worse. Moreover,Berggren and Bjørnskov (2011) find a negative relation between religiosity and social trust.…”

Tolerance – respecting individual choice and differences among people – is a prominent feature of modern European culture. That immigrants embrace this kind of liberal value is arguably important for integration, a central policy goal. We provide a rigorous study of what factors in the ancestral countries of second-generation immigrants – including formal and informal institutions – predict their level of tolerance towards gay people. Using the epidemiological method allows us to rule out reverse causality. Out of the 46 factors examined, one emerges as very robust: a Muslim ancestral background. Tolerance towards gay people is lower the larger the share of Muslims in the country from which the parents emigrated. An instrumental-variable analysis shows that the main mechanism is not through the individual being a Muslim, but through the individual being highly religious. Two additional attitudes among people in the ancestral country (valuing children being tolerant and respectful, and valuing children taking responsibility), as well as impartial institutions in the ancestral country, predict higher individual tolerance. Our findings thus point to an important role for both formal- and informal-institutional background factors in shaping tolerance.

“…In addition to describing the culturally adapted CBT techniques, the authors highlight the issues of gender discrimination and female sexuality in Muslim countries (Gouda and Potrafke, 2016). Culture, religion and spirituality influence the belief systems of people, including beliefs about illness, its causes and treatment (Cinnirella and Loewenthal, 1999;Ismail et al, 2005;Razali et al, 1996).…”

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in its current form might not be acceptable to service users from a variety of backgrounds. Therefore, it makes sense to adapt CBT when working with diverse populations. Contributors to this special issue of theCognitive Behaviour Therapisthave tackled the issues around the cultural adaptation of CBT from various perspectives, using a variety of methods, and have addressed topics ranging from cultural adaptation to improving access to CBT. Here, I briefly summarize and discuss the papers in this special issue. I start with a systematic review of CBT for social anxiety across cultures. Seven articles cover aspects of adaptation of therapies for people from different backgrounds. Three papers discuss the issues of gender and sexuality when using CBT, while another three papers focus on refugees, asylum seekers and the homeless, and two papers describe the application of CBT with religious populations. Finally, there are seven papers on issues related to service delivery, practice and training and supervision when working with a diverse population. Collectively, papers in this special issue provide us with sufficient evidence that cultural considerations play a vital role when using CBT, offer practical suggestions for improving cultural competence and most importantly, can catalyse future research. However, the full potential of culturally adapted interventions will not be realized until and unless access to CBT is improved. Therefore, there is a need to build robust evidence to convince funders, policy makers and service managers.
