Reflexivity and Understanding Cultural Background

Engaging in critical reflexivity is essential for psychologists to understand the influence of their own background and biases in their work. It involves reflecting on assumptions, stereotypes, and cultural norms that may impact the assessment process. Psychologists should also be open to collaborating with clients and acknowledging that they may not have all the answers. Building a strong rapport and relationship with clients, especially from culturally diverse backgrounds, is crucial for effective assessment.
