1) Choosing Family Assessment Instruments
After reading the Burnette et al. (2019) article, reflect on the importance of scale developers considering cultural diversity and whether the reliability, validity and norms established for any instrument translate to special populations (diverse families along the lines of culture, race, language, nationality, et cetera.). For example, in some cultures, families express themselves quite loudly and with a lot of hand gestures. In some cultures, families are quite close and it might be expected that “everybody knows everyone else’s business.” How might therapists and scale developers avoid applying ethnocentric ideas of whats “normal,” “healthy,” or “optimal” to diverse populations? How can clinicians appropriately and culturally sensitively gauge whether a family is “enmeshed” or “intensely conflictual” without imposing North American, or Eurocentric, standards?
