“…Whether he exercises this power is largely a matter of his personal inclinations and capabilities. Even the most taciturn bartender, however, can provide a minimum encounter for the isolate seeking some respite from the anonymity of daily life (Dumont, 1967). The importance of even this minimum human exchange can be seen most clearly in cases in which a bartender wishes to discourage the continued patronage of an individual or group.…”

Efforts to expand mental health manpower have taken three major directions: (1) increased use of consultation, (2) creating entirely new roles, and (3) offering training to persons engaged in roles or occupations presumably at strategic points of contact between the public and the mental health system. Among such roles are clergy, police, hairdressers, and bartenders. Little effort has been made to analyze systematically this third approach to assess its true utility for mental health service. In this paper the role of the bartender is analyzed along four dimensions: personality component, functional centrality, role distance, and nonperson status. Functional centrality appears as a clear asset. Role distance and nonperson status have mixed value depending on the activity envisioned. These role attributed will be generally incompatible with relationships requiring sustained intimacy but could facilitate initial opening up and revelation of sensitive personal information. The lack of protracted professional socialization poses some risk with respect to obtrussion of personal idiosyncracies.

Goal:To inform clinicians regarding attitudes, concepts, and skills relevant to clinical cultural competence in addiction treatment. Method:On the basis of National Institutes of HealthAmerican Psychiatric Association invitational conference, 2 Grand Rounds (Columbia University and the Mayo Clinic), and the authors' experiences.Findings: Clinicians should consider their attitudes toward their own ethnic background and substance use. Cultural concepts useful in care of addiction include norm conflict, deviance-versus-pathology, emic-etic distinctions, ceremonial-versus-secular substance use, and cultural change. Relevant skills include taking a culture history, assessing cultural transference and countertransference, assessing and working with the patient's intimate social network, and considering cultural factors in pharmacotherapy and psychosocial therapies. All clinicians possess some level of skill in providing cross-cultural care, but can add to this skill level throughout a career of practice. Developing clinical cultural competence serves not only professional, but personal growth.
