Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Amy Cohen introduces a webinar on culturally competent care, focusing on the DSM-5 Outline for Cultural Formulation and Cultural Formulation Interview. The session, led by Dr. Francis Liu, explores the importance of integrating cultural considerations into psychiatric assessment and treatment plans to improve care for all patients, not just ethnic minorities. Dr. Liu emphasizes the need for cultural competence in healthcare, involving understanding one's values, prejudices, and biases while maintaining humility and embracing diversity. He outlines five parts of the Cultural Formulation, including cultural identity, concepts of distress, stressors, patient-clinician relationship features, and overall cultural assessments. The webinar discusses tools to gather cultural information, such as the Cultural Formulation Interview, and supplementary modules for various patient groups. Participants are guided to utilize these resources in clinical settings to enhance diagnosis accuracy and patient care. Dr. Liu also discusses the challenges of cultural dynamics in patient-clinician relationships and the role of social determinants of mental health. Practical tips for working with language interpreters and addressing barriers to culturally responsive care are also shared.
