IPV Perpetrator Treatment through a Cultural Lens: A Case for Practice-Based Evidence (TF)
Studies that provide the “E” in EBP’s have usually had insufficient diversity in their participant pools to give any model the designation “evidence-based,” at least when it comes to ethnic minorities. While this situation has begun to improve somewhat over the last decade (Morales & Norcross, 2010), the ever-increasing pressure on counselors to use manualized therapies can lead to underestimating the complexity of the human experience in a multicultural society. As a result, treatment providers may find themselves at a loss when their “go-to” methods fail to engage the clients. This presentation will focus on cultural education, common factors and personal effectiveness when treating culturally diverse IPV perpetrators. To illustrate, we will examine the specific context of Native American clients to help us to increase our curiosity, re-conceptualize cases, pursue context, and create an environment of trust and safety that appeals to the best self of the client. Participants will learn about promising research on cultural adaptation of EBP’s, and will increase their knowledge, flexibility and comfort when working with ethnically and culturally diverse clients.
- Participants will be able to identify three confounding factors in using EBP's with culturally/ethnically diverse clients
- Participants will be able to identify self-as-therapist factors that reduce effectiveness with ethnically/culturally diverse IPV perpetrators
- Participants will identify three interpersonal/clinical skills and/or qualities that increase meaningful engagement with culturally/ethnically diverse clients.
