“…Helbok et al and Perkins et al found that psychotherapists in rural areas experienced more multiple relationships than did those who practiced in urban/suburban settings. Other cultural groups included in the literature are the deaf (Guthmann & Sandberg, 2002), gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender (Kessler & Waehler, 2005;Moore, 2003), military (Johnson, Ralph, & Johnson, 2005;Staal & King, 2000), and sports communities (Watson, Clement, Harris, Leffingwell, & Hurst, 2006).

This survey of 787 Asian American and non-Asian American psychotherapists revealed that clinicians rely on mostly their personal policies and seldom focus on the clients' cultural backgrounds. Psychotherapists who consider their clients' Asian culture have more cultural knowledge and awareness, have been mental health providers longer, and are Asian American and female. Clinicians who avoid multiple relationships tend to cite formal policies as justification and are less likely to consider clients' cultural worldviews, the therapeutic relationship, or their own values. The results are discussed in terms of specific revisions needed in the American Psychological Association Ethics Code, the benefits of more frequent consultation with colleagues and supervisors about ethical dilemmas, and recommendations for psychotherapists.Since the 1970s, clinical and counseling psychology have attempted to be more inclusive of cultural diversity, encouraging psychotherapists to consider in their practices the impact that culture has on people's values, worldviews, behaviors, and emotions (
