Resumen:
Cultural Adaptations and Psychological Treatments in Multicultural ContextsMayor advancements have been achieved in research on the cultural adaptation of prevention and treatment interventions that are conducted with diverse cultural groups. The aim of this panel is to discuss some of the characteristics of the adaptation of treatments developed in other contexts to different cultures. Psychological treatments include norms, values, and world views mainly of the Western society. The assumption of universality in psychological treatments needs to be discussed as well as the validity of evidence-based interventions and treatments. We will discuss the utilization of different methodologies to understand what changes are necessary to do in psychological treatments. We will also discuss the reasons why patients undergo treatments in different contexts and the impact of local culture made necessary changes adaptations in psychological treatments. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed, and recommendations for future research are made expressing that psychological interventions contain values, norms, beliefs, and worldviews that may be contrary to those held by many ethnocultural groups.
