“…Another strategy that could be combined with traditional assessment approaches is an adaptation of the one recommended by Jones and Thorne (1987) for intercultural assessment. Clients, prior to testing, could be asked to write about their history of sexual identity development; as an alternative, clients could be given homework, after viewing assessment results, that asks them to describe how they perceive their sexual orientation as related to the assessment results.…”

This article discusses key concepts in the counseling and assessment literature that can guide sound career assessment with lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals. Sexual identity development and environmental factors are discussed as variables central to career assessment. In addition, a number of potential sources of assessment bias are identified in the design, selection, and use of career assessment tools.Following nearly a century of silence throughout the history of vocational psychology, the study of the career issues relating to lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals has developed recently into a legitimate scholarly focus within the career literature. More than 40 articles relating to the career behavior of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals as a nonethnic minority group have been published in the professional literature-over 75% of these within the past 5 years alone. The literature has focused primarily on providing career counselors with suggestions for practice and intervention with lesbian and gay clients (Pope, 1995) but also includes several empirical investigations and theoretical efforts directed toward expanding our models of career behavior (Croteau & Bieschke, 1996). Rarely, however, have writers specifically addressed the issue of career assessment; any attempt to organize and apply the body of career counseling work systematically to the career assessment of lesbians, gay men, or bisexual individuals is noticeably lacking.This article provides a first step toward correcting that lack. Through a review of existing literature, both empirical and theoretical, this article discusses some of the central concepts that bear directly and indirectly on assessing the career concerns and situations of lesbian, gay, and bisexual clients. The term assessment is defined broadly, to include interview, testing, and other methods of assessment that are used to evaluate an individual's career situation or concerns.

Culture is a dynamic system of bidirectional influences among individuals and their environment, including psychological and biological processes, which facilitate adaptation and social interaction. One of the main challenges in clinical neuropsychology involves cognitive, behavioral and functional assessment of people with different sociocultural backgrounds. In this review essay, examining culture from a historical perspective to ethical issues in cross-cultural research, including the latest significant and publications, the authors sought to explore the main features related to cultural variables in neuropsychological practice and to debate the challenges found regarding the operational methods currently in use. Literature findings suggest a more comprehensive approach in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, including an interface between elementary disciplines and applied neuropsychology. Thus, as a basis for discussion on this issue, the authors analyzed key-topics related to the study of new trends in sociocultural neuroscience and the application of their concepts from a clinical perspective.

“…Eight questions were proposed as a form of clinical mini-ethnography (31–32) to interpret illness within the patient’s world (33) since symptoms do not merely reflect psychobiological phenomena but meanings drawn from cultural forms of discourse (34). Emphasis on narrative was preferred to reflect patient experience (35). The eight, open-ended questions ground this dimension of the Cultural Formulation (23).…”

This paper considers revisions to the DSM-IV Outline for Cultural Formulation from the perspective of clinical practice. First, the paper explores the theoretical development of the Cultural Formulation. Next, a case presentation demonstrates challenges in its actual implementation. Finally, the paper recommends a set of questions for the clinician on barriers to care and countertransference. The development of a standardized, user-friendly format can increase the Cultural Formulation’s utilization among all psychiatrists beyond those specializing in cultural psychiatry.
