Abstract

There have been many attempts to conceptualize, understand, research, and teach practitioners how to navigate the diverse range of cultural contexts in the practice of psychotherapy. Yet, becoming competent in multicultural counseling, practicing cultural humility, or delivering culturally-responsive therapeutic services are often limited to monolingual epistemology, especially in the United States. This phenomenological study used language(s) as a marker of culture to track and understand how various cultures are navigated by multilingual Asian American clinicians who were educated in English and are working with non-English speaking clients. By examining their experiences, this study provided a nuanced perspective on how culture can be articulated, understood, and navigated by these multilingual Asian American clinicians. The findings further made implications for new ways that culture can be conceptualized to continue the evolution of culturally-responsive training and practices to increase access and inclusion to mental health services, including a need to articulate and understand the culture of psychotherapy using therapy-speak as a linguistic marker of culture.

使用语言作为文化的标记:美籍亚裔多语临床医生的现象学
已经有很多尝试概念化、理解、研究和教导从业者如何在心理治疗实践中驾驭不同的文化背景。然而,要胜任多元文化咨询,实践文化谦逊,或提供文化响应性治疗服务,往往仅限于单语认识论,尤其是在美国。本现象学研究使用语言作为文化标记来追踪和理解多语言美籍亚裔临床医生是如何驾驭不同文化的,这些临床医生接受过英语教育,并与非英语客户合作。通过研究他们的经历,本研究提供了一个微妙的视角,说明这些多语言的亚裔美国临床医生如何表达、理解和驾驭文化。研究结果进一步暗示了将文化概念化的新方法,以继续文化响应培训和实践的演变,以增加对精神卫生服务的获取和包容,包括需要使用治疗语言作为文化的语言标记来阐明和理解心理治疗文化。
