培训临床心理学研究生为难民提供有效的心理服务可能极其复杂。培训方法需要一个文化敏感的框架、对经验验证技术的潜在修改以及学员和主管的灵活性。连接文化是一个创造文化敏感环境的计划,学员可以从中学习如何在社会正义框架和人类发展的生态模型内有效地与难民合作。连接文化研究生提供基于社区的外展服务和直接临床服务,以满足美国东北地区难民的心理健康需求。本手稿的主要目的是概述 Connecting Cultures 的培训和监督模式;强调与文化顾问、口译员和社区长者合作的重要性;并讨论这项工作对临床心理学研究生的影响。第二个目标是描述我们基于证据的心理评估方法,并提供研究生的初步结果数据。连接文化计划的优势包括与来自 20 多个国家的难民进行的临床和研究工作,以及灵活纳入替代治疗框架(例如接受疗法和承诺疗法)的能力。最后,手稿最后提供了我们在努力满足难民重新安置后心理健康需求方面的工作的意义。(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2017 APA,保留所有权利)
Training clinical psychology graduate students in providing effective psychological services to refugees can be extremely complex. The training approach requires a culturally sensitive framework, potential modification of empirically validated techniques, and flexibility on the part of trainees and supervisors. Connecting Cultures is a program that creates a culturally sensitive context from which trainees can learn to effectively work with refugees within a social justice framework and the ecological model of human development. Connecting Cultures graduate students provide both community-based outreach and direct clinical services to meet the mental health needs of refugees in the Northeast region of the United States. The primary aim of this manuscript is to provide an overview of Connecting Cultures’ training and supervision model; highlight the importance of working with cultural consultants, interpreters, and community elders; and discuss the impact this work has on clinical psychology graduate students. A secondary aim is to describe our method for evidence-based psychological assessment and to present preliminary outcome data from our graduate students. Strengths of the Connecting Cultures program include its clinical and research efforts with refugees from over 20 countries and its ability to flexibly incorporate alternative therapeutic frameworks such as acceptance and commitment therapy. Finally, the manuscript concludes by providing the implications of our work in attempting to meet the mental health needs of refugees after resettlement.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
