Question

A recent immigrant to the united state has been having some problems and, after some initial hesitation, decides to see a therapist for some assistance. after the interview, the therapist makes a particular diagnosis and is discussing the case with a colleague when the colleague raises some concerns. she points out that the therapist may need to reconsider his diagnosis because the behaviors involved are much more common and are even considered normal in the country from which the person came. the views of the colleague are most consistent with the _____ perspective on psychological disorders.

Answer 1

The correct answer that corresponds to the blank that fits the statement above is sociocultural. The immigrant must have been experiencing a sociocultural perspective on psychological disorders because as the statement says that the person was an immigrant, he must have having the problem in terms with the culture that he is now and the way he would interact.
