We will also examine subcultures in a given and see how they are seen within
the larger population, and apply that to the way we view culture in
treatment.
We also examine other issues , such as domestic violence, child abuse in the
culture as well as Clergy Sexual Abuse. Finally we will look at a specific
mental health issue (depression) and see how it is viewed in the culture. We
will begin to think about how we present treatment issues to different
cultures.

Using the paradigms of Monica McGoldrick and others, Thomas Carr &
Associates offers courses through reading, workshop, tour and discussion
that suggest ways to prepare the participants to identify and define salient
issues and insight into various cultures and people. We will also look at
the specific culture as it exists in the United States
and in the context of time and
compare and contrast findings
with our own observations and apply to their own practice not only with
their culture, but a variety of cultures.
