Re-published Previous episode for the Altogether Us Book!

Gaby Satarino has created four IFS-informed approaches to providing culturally centered care to Latinx clients who live in the United States:

·               Culturally Sensitive Contextual Interview (CSCI)

·               Recognizing Common Polarizations in Latinx Clients

·               Culturally Centered Spiritual Integration

·               Language Switching for Culturally Centered Healing    

The IFS-Informed Culturally Sensitive Contextual Interview (CSCI) is set of questions that clinicians can ask both during intake and throughout the duration of client care that invite dialogue about cultural experiences have impacted the parts of the client. 

You can find the English and Spanish version of the Culturally Sensitive Contextual Interview in the book, "Altogether Us" under her chapter, IFS and Latinx.
